EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from "A Child's Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson, we are transported back to the year 1885. The scene depicts a child seated amongst a group of women engrossed in their sewing. With eyes closed and legs crossed, the young girl appears serene and well-behaved as she listens intently to the conversation unfolding around her. The atmosphere is one of relaxation and camaraderie, as these women engage in needlework while exchanging stories and gossip. Their skilled hands diligently mend fabrics, repairing garments with care and precision. It is evident that this gathering serves not only as a practical task but also as an opportunity for connection and bonding. Jessie Willcox Smith's masterful use of color lithography brings life to this charming illustration. The vibrant hues enhance the warmth emanating from the scene, evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. This image captures a moment frozen in time - where traditional gender roles intertwine with domesticity and creativity. It reminds us of the importance of human connection through shared activities, even amidst our daily routines. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but imagine ourselves joining these women in their peaceful sanctuary - finding solace in both productive work and meaningful conversations.
