EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""He took the boy upon his knee, and told him stories of the dear, brave Falcon"" transports us to a world of imagination and storytelling. The image showcases an intimate moment between a man and a young boy as they sit together, with the man holding the child on his knee. The warmth in their expressions suggests that this is not just any ordinary interaction but rather one filled with love and affection. The scene depicted here is inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Falcon of Ser Federigo" which tells the story of a nobleman who forms a bond with a falcon. As he narrates tales about this beloved bird to the young boy, it becomes evident that these stories hold great significance for both characters. Emily Farmer's skillful use of color lithography brings life to this enchanting illustration from Alice Massie's adaptation of Longfellow's poetry collection for children. The vibrant hues capture our attention while also evoking emotions associated with bravery, adventure, and innocence. This artwork serves as a reminder of how literature can transport us to different worlds and ignite our imaginations. It celebrates the power of storytelling in nurturing relationships between generations and fostering creativity in young minds.
