EDITORS COMMENTS
This print features an exquisite illustration from "The Book of Old English Songs and Ballads" a publication by Hodder and Stoughton in approximately 1910. Created by the talented Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale, this colour lithograph showcases her remarkable artistic prowess. In this enchanting scene, we are transported to a serene church setting where birds gather outside a magnificent stained-glass window. The image is accompanied by an evocative quote from John Donne's poem: "Hail, Bishop Valentine, whose day this is! All the Air is thy diocese, and all the chirping choristers and other birds are thy parishioners". The composition exudes reverence as these feathered creatures pay homage to their winged bishop. With their heads held high and wings respectfully folded, they stand before him in awe. The bishop himself radiates authority with his majestic robes adorned with intricate details such as mitre and crozier. Nature intertwines seamlessly with divine power in this artwork. Delicate roses bloom around the window frame, symbolizing love and beauty while adding a touch of botanical elegance to the scene. Fortescue-Brickdale's masterful use of color brings life to every element within the illustration. Through her artistry, she invites us into a world where poetry meets visual splendor—a testament to both human creativity and nature's wonders captured on paper for generations to admire.
