EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fancy" takes us on a journey through the enchanting world of love and poetry. Illustrated by Byam Shaw, a renowned artist of the early 20th century, this image brings to life Laurence Hope's poem from her collection "The Garden of Kama and other love lyrics from India". Intricately traced upon the white curve of an arm are dragons, symbolizing both power and mystery. The delicate beauty of the design is juxtaposed with the plea to curb one's own fancy, reminding us that even in our most enchanted flights of imagination, we must remain grounded. The image evokes a sense of exoticism and orientalism prevalent during Edwardian times when Western fascination with Eastern cultures was at its peak. It transports us to Asia, where vultures soar overhead as poets seek inspiration amidst lush gardens. Within this rich tapestry lies a young woman adorned in traditional Indian attire - a sari - representing both femininity and cultural identity. Her presence adds depth to this visual narrative as she embodies the spirit of Laurence Hope's poems. As we gaze upon this exquisite print, we are reminded not only of Victorian literary arts but also how art can transcend time and boundaries. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature and illustration in capturing our hearts across generations.
