EDITORS COMMENTS
The Loved One Far Away, 1915, by Ethel Parkinson This evocative photograph, titled "The Loved One Far Away," captures the poignant moment of a young Dutch girl lost in thought as she sits at the end of a jetty, gazing out across the tranquil water. Dressed in traditional Dutch attire, with a high-necked blouse, full skirt, and apron, she embodies the grace and simplicity of the time and place. The scene is set in the picturesque Netherlands, with the quaint architecture of the country's charming villages and the peaceful waters of its many canals in the background. The girl's expression is one of deep longing and sadness, her eyes fixed on the horizon where her lover is believed to be. The gentle breeze ruffles her hair, and the sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of nostalgia and wistfulness. Ethel Parkinson, a talented British photographer, captured this poignant moment in time in 1915. Her ability to convey emotion through her images was unparalleled, and "The Loved One Far Away" is a testament to her skill. Parkinson's use of natural light, composition, and the subject's body language all contribute to the powerful narrative that unfolds in this timeless photograph. This image is a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of love and the connection it creates, even when the beloved is far away. It is a poignant and moving representation of the human experience, and a testament to the artistry and vision of Ethel Parkinson.
