Mr. Spider Comes to Stay
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration by Terry Parker, dated back to 1924, showcased in various magazines during the 1920s. This enchanting image transports us to a quaint windmill premises, where an unexpected visitor has made its home. The windmill, with its tall, conical structure and sails, stands proudly against a clear blue sky. The rustic charm of the mill is contrasted by the intricate, large cobweb spun by Mr. Spider, who has made himself at home in one of the mill's bags filled with flour. The spider, with its eight long legs and beady eyes, gazes out at the viewer with a sense of pride and ownership. The people in the illustration are shown in various stages of shock and disbelief as they discover the spider's residence. A young child, with wide, frightened eyes, covers her mouth in horror, while an older man, with a white beard and a shocked expression, points towards the spider in disbelief. Another man, with a broom in hand, looks ready to take action, while a woman, with a basket of flour on her head, seems frozen in surprise. The situation is further emphasized by the bags of flour, with their white, powdery contents contrasting sharply against the dark, intricate cobweb. The overall effect is one of surprise, intrigue, and a touch of the fantastical. This illustration, with its charming detail and whimsical tone, is a delightful reminder of the magical and unexpected moments that can be found in the most ordinary of places. Terry Parker's "Mr. Spider Comes to Stay" is a testament to the power of illustration to transport us to another world, to make us laugh, and to leave us with a sense of wonder. This enchanting image is a must-see for anyone who appreciates the beauty and magic of the 1920s and the world of literature and illustration.
