1863 Babies Ethereal Fairies Gathering Kingsley
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, titled "Water Babies / Doasyoulike: The Doasyoulike Ladies of Readymade Land Gathering Gossamer in Autumn," transports us back to the historical era of 1863, inviting us to indulge in a whimsical moment of ethereal beauty. The scene is set in a serene and idyllic landscape, where the Doasyoulike ladies, dressed in elegant white gowns, gracefully gather gossamer, or spider webs, amidst a bountiful display of autumnal flowers. The Doasyoulike ladies were a group of fictional characters created by English author Lewis Carroll, best known for his works "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass." Carroll's "Water-Babies: A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby," published in 1863, follows the adventures of a young chimney sweep named Tom, who is transformed into a water baby and learns valuable life lessons from various aquatic creatures. The title "Doasyoulike" is a reference to the fairies in the story who grant Tom's every wish, as long as he asks them "Do as you like." This photograph, captured by an unknown photographer, captures the essence of the magical world Carroll created, with its intriguing blend of historical figures, literary characters, and the natural beauty of the autumn season. The ladies' delicate white gowns, reminiscent of Victorian-era fashion, contrast beautifully with the vibrant colors of the fallen leaves and the delicate gossamer strands they collect. The presence of books in the scene adds an intellectual and literary touch, further emphasizing the connection to the literary world of the time. This image invites us to imagine a world where the lines between reality and fantasy blur, and where the magic of literature and the beauty of nature come together in perfect harmony.
