EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Story of Golden Locks, ca. 1870" by Seymour Joseph Guy takes us back to the enchanting world of childhood and storytelling in 19th century America. The image depicts a young girl, fearfully gesturing with her hand, as she reads a bedtime story in the dimly lit confines of her bedroom. The atmosphere is filled with mystery and anticipation, as shadows dance on the walls and darkness envelops the room. The golden locks of the girl's hair seem to mirror those of Goldilocks from the famous fairy tale "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". It is evident that this book holds great significance for her, transporting her into a realm where imagination knows no bounds. As we observe this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of our own childhood fears and how stories have always had the power to both frighten and captivate us. This painting beautifully captures that delicate balance between being afraid yet eager to explore new worlds through literature. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Seymour Joseph Guy's exceptional talent for capturing emotion through his brushstrokes. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and love for storytelling across generations.
