EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War One, an air of tranquility and elegance unfolds in this silhouette by Nellie E. George. The image depicts a lady, dressed in her finest attire, seated at an exquisitely set dining table. With a graceful lift of her hand, she raises a fork towards her mouth, poised to take a bite. The scene is reminiscent of a leisurely afternoon tea or a formal dinner, a luxury that many could only dream of during the harsh realities of wartime rationing. The accompanying rhyming caption, published in The Bystander in 1917, adds a poignant layer to the image. "Mary had a little lamb, (I deeply grieve to say, She would not keep to swedes and beans, Upon her 'meatless' day)" serves as a gentle reminder of the food shortages that plagued the home front. Despite the hardships, the lady in the silhouette maintains her composure and dignity, her lace tablecloth and delicate curtains a testament to the enduring spirit of elegance and resilience. This evocative image, with its timeless charm and historical significance, transports us back to a bygone era. The lady's silhouetted figure, framed against the soft glow of the setting sun, invites us to pause and reflect on the simple pleasures of a well-prepared meal and the enduring power of tradition, even in the most challenging of times.
