Thursdays Child,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating and intriguing turn-of-the-century print by the talented British artist May Bowley, offers a glimpse into the rich world of folklore and tradition that once shaped our understanding of the days of the week and the unique characteristics of children born on each day. The image depicts a young girl, dressed in Victorian attire, gazing intently at a crystal ball, her expression a curious and determined one. Surrounding her are various symbols and objects associated with the day Thursdays - a rooster, a cornucopia, and the letter "Th" adorned with a five-pointed star. These elements serve to remind us of the age-old belief that children born on Thursdays would be "helping hands," hardworking, and blessed with good fortune. This print, which dates back to circa 1903, was designed to help young children remember the days of the week and the unique character traits associated with each. The song "Thursdays Child," which accompanied this image, would have been sung to them as a fun and engaging way to learn this essential knowledge. The intricate details of the print, from the delicate folds of the girl's dress to the intricately patterned background, serve to transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions that once shaped our understanding of the world around us. Today, "Thursdays Child" remains a captivating piece of art and a reminder of the enduring power of folklore and tradition to shape our lives and our understanding of the world.
