EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "She came down from the platform, still bravely choking back her tears" we are transported to a nostalgic classroom setting. The artist, Jessie Willcox Smith, skillfully captures a poignant moment of emotion and resilience. The image depicts a young girl standing on a platform, surrounded by her fellow pupils and an old-fashioned blackboard. Her tear-streaked face reveals her distress, yet she valiantly holds back her emotions. It is evident that something has deeply upset her, as indicated by the costumes worn by some of the other children. The use of color lithography adds vibrancy to the scene and enhances our connection with the characters. The soft hues evoke a sense of innocence and vulnerability while also emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. This artwork is part of the Everyday Fairy Book published around 1930. It beautifully encapsulates both the magic and challenges present in childhood experiences. Through this image, we are reminded of moments when we had to summon courage in difficult situations – when tears threatened to overwhelm us but were held at bay through sheer determination. "She came down from the platform, still bravely choking back her tears" serves as a timeless reminder that strength can be found even in our most vulnerable moments.
