EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a young boy lying in bed, surrounded by the comforting presence of soldiers. The year is 1885, and the historical context of this scene is unclear, but the boy's expression of contentment and dreaminess suggests that he is recovering from an illness. The title of this image, "Boy in Bed with Soldiers," is taken from a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson titled "The Land of Counterpane." In the poem, Stevenson writes, "When I was sick and lay a-bed, I had two pillows at my head, And all my toys beside me lay, To keep me happy all the day." The soldiers in the photograph may have been brought in to provide a sense of security and protection for the sick boy, or they may have been part of his imagination as he lay in bed, dreaming of adventure and heroism. The photograph is filled with intriguing details that add to the story. The boy's bed is adorned with colorful quilts and pillows, and there are books and verses scattered about, indicating that learning and imagination were important sources of comfort and entertainment for him. A small garden can be seen outside the window, adding a touch of nature to the scene. The photograph, published by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and comforts that can be found even in the most challenging of times. It invites us to reflect on the power of imagination, the importance of companionship, and the enduring allure of a good book or verse to lift the spirits and bring joy to those who are sick or in need.
