EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of childhood innocence and vulnerability. In this beautifully illustrated scene from "A Child's Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson, we see a young boy lying in bed, his face reflecting weariness and sickness. The artist, Jessie Willcox Smith, skillfully portrays the child's state of being poorly and tired. As he drifts off to sleep, surrounded by his beloved toys scattered across the bedcovers, it is evident that his dreams are filled with wonder and imagination. Toy soldiers stand guard at his side as if protecting him from any harm that may come during the night. The soft colors used in this lithograph add a dreamlike quality to the image, enhancing the feeling of tranquility and restfulness. It is clear that bedtime has arrived for this little boy who has had an exhausting day. In this poignant illustration, we witness not only a sickly child seeking solace in slumber but also a reminder of our own cherished memories from childhood. It serves as a gentle reminder to cherish those moments when we were tucked into bed with our favorite toys close by. This timeless piece reminds us all of the universal experience of childhood - its joys and sorrows - captured within these delicate brushstrokes.
