EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating image from the "Little Jewels" series of postcards, illustrated by the talented British artist Millicent Sowerby (1878-1967). This beautiful work of art, believed to have been created around 1916, showcases a young girl with a radiant expression as she holds an amethyst gemstone in her hand. The rich purple hue of the amethyst is brilliantly captured, reflecting the light and casting a mesmerizing glow on the girl's face and her surroundings. Millicent Sowerby's mastery of color and detail is evident in this enchanting portrait. The girl's dress, with its intricate floral pattern, complements the deep purple of the amethyst, while her curly hair cascades down her back like a golden waterfall. The delicate folds of her dress and the softness of her skin add to the overall sense of charm and whimsy. The "Little Jewels" series, which included a total of twelve postcards featuring different precious and semi-precious stones, was a popular and successful venture for Sowerby. Each image in the series was designed to evoke the unique beauty and allure of the featured gemstone, and "Amethyst" is no exception. The combination of the young girl's enchanting presence and the captivating amethyst creates a timeless and magical image that continues to captivate viewers today. Millicent Sowerby was a prolific and versatile artist who is best known for her illustrations, particularly her work on children's books and greeting cards. Her ability to bring the natural world and the imagination to life through her art made her a beloved figure in the world of British illustration. "Amethyst" is just one example of the many treasures she left behind, a testament to her extraordinary talent and creativity.
