EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Blind Child" is an illustration from The Book of Old English Songs and Ballads, published by Hodder and Stoughton around 1910. Created by the talented artist Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale, this colour lithograph showcases her exceptional skills in capturing emotion and storytelling. The image portrays a young blind boy standing on a bridge with his fishing implements in hand. Despite his disability, he exudes a sense of innocence and curiosity that is truly heartwarming. Surrounding him are ethereal wings symbolizing divine power and protection, hinting at the presence of angels or seraphs watching over him. The composition beautifully combines elements of poetry, nature, and childhood wonder. The rocky landscape adds depth to the scene while the wooden bridge serves as both a physical connection between two points and a metaphorical representation of life's journey. Fortescue-Brickdale's attention to detail shines through in every brushstroke, creating an enchanting atmosphere that invites viewers into the world she has crafted. This artwork not only celebrates the resilience of children but also reminds us of their boundless imagination and ability to find joy even in challenging circumstances. Displayed here is just one example from Fortescue-Brickdale's remarkable collection featured in private collections worldwide. It serves as a timeless reminder that art has the power to inspire empathy, evoke emotions, and transcend barriers such as age or disability
