When Susan Swings,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a charming and evocative image from the Susan series published by Humphrey Milford's Postcards for the Little Ones in 1923, captures the playful and carefree spirit of childhood. This beautiful print, created by the talented artist Lilian Price Hacker, wife of renowned painter Arthur Hacker, was first published by Liberty & Co in 1912. The scene depicts a young girl, Susan, lost in the joy of swinging back and forth on a swing set against a picturesque backdrop of a lush green meadow and a clear blue sky. Her dress billows in the wind, her hair flies freely around her face, and her eyes are closed in pure delight. The gentle curve of her smile and the relaxed posture of her body convey a sense of contentment and happiness. This image is a testament to the simple pleasures of childhood and the joy that can be found in the simplest of activities. It also reflects the artistic style of the early 20th century, with its focus on naturalism and the depiction of everyday life. Lilian Price Hacker's skillful use of color and composition adds to the overall charm of the print. The vibrant greens of the meadow and the rich blues of the sky contrast beautifully with the warm tones of Susan's dress and the wooden swing. The use of soft lines and gentle shading creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the scene. The Susan series, published by Humphrey Milford's Postcards for the Little Ones, was a popular collection of prints depicting a young girl in different moods and situations. This image of Susan swinging is a beloved classic, cherished for its timeless appeal and its ability to evoke memories of childhood joy and innocence.
