EDITORS COMMENTS
'Goodnight, Dolls: A Bedtime Ritual, Circa 1915' In this heartwarming and nostalgic image, two young girls, dressed in their nightgowns, are seen tenderly tucking their dolls into bed. The scene, captured around 1915, evokes a sense of tranquility and innocence, as the girls prepare their dolls for a peaceful night's rest. The girls' expressions convey a sense of contentment and love as they carry out this bedtime ritual. The artist of this beautiful print is Helen Grace Culverwell Marsh (circa 1880-1963), an accomplished painter and illustrator known for her depictions of children and domestic scenes. Marsh's attention to detail is evident in the girls' nightgowns, which feature delicate lace collars and cuffs, and the intricately patterned bedspread. The soft, muted colors of the print further add to its timeless quality. The girls' bedroom is bathed in the warm glow of a lamp, casting long, gentle shadows on the wall behind them. The silhouettes of the girls and their dolls create a beautiful contrast against the dark background, adding depth and texture to the image. This print, 'Goodnight, Dolls: A Bedtime Ritual, Circa 1915,' is a charming reminder of the simple joys of childhood and the special bond between children and their toys. It is a beautiful piece of art that would make a lovely addition to any home, evoking memories of bedtime stories, cozy nights, and cherished childhood memories.
