Fleur-de-Lis, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Carlton Alfred Smith that showcases the timeless bond between a mother and child. This enchanting image was featured in "Princess Mary's Gift Book" a renowned collection of children's stories written by esteemed authors of the time. The book aimed to support The Queen's Work for Women Fund during World War One, which sought to empower and employ women in various projects. In this heartwarming scene, we witness a tender moment as the mother cradles her baby in her arms. The artist skillfully captures the essence of motherhood, emphasizing love, care, and protection. The delicate fleur-de-lis motif adorning their clothing adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the composition. Smith's use of color brings vibrancy to this early 20th-century artwork. The soft hues create a soothing atmosphere within a nursery setting where lullabies are sung and rocking chairs provide comfort. Princess Mary herself was actively involved in charitable works and nursing during World War One, making this image even more significant. "Fleur-de-Lis, 1914" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a symbol of hope during challenging times. It reminds us of the power of compassion and highlights the invaluable contributions made by women throughout history. Carlton Alfred Smith masterfully immortalizes this precious connection between mother and child through his exceptional talent for capturing emotions on canvas or paper.
