A Morning Song
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 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 color lithograph showcases her mastery in capturing the essence of poetry through visual art. In this enchanting scene, we are transported to a window adorned with a climbing rose. The delicate flower symbolizes love and beauty, while its thorny stems remind us of life's challenges. A mischievous angelic figure, perhaps Cupid himself, playfully climbs up towards the window as if delivering a message of love. The artwork is inspired by William Shakespeare's poem titled "With everything that Pretty bin". It urges Lady Sweet to arise and embrace the new day with joy and enthusiasm. The combination of Shakespearean verse and Fortescue-Brickdale's artistic interpretation creates an atmosphere filled with romance and poetic charm. Nudity plays a subtle role in this piece, representing purity rather than sensuality. The cherubic figures embody innocence as they hover amidst the roses, emphasizing nature's inherent beauty. Fortescue-Brickdale skillfully intertwines botany, natural history, science, and literature into her work. Her attention to detail brings each element to life - from the intricate petals on the roses to every stroke in Cupid's bow. This print captures both the timeless allure of classic literature and the ethereal beauty found within nature itself. It
