EDITORS COMMENTS
The Pelican, a captivating cartoon for stained glass created by Edward Coley Burne-Jones in 1880, is an exquisite piece of art that showcases the remarkable talent and vision of the artist. This coloured chalk on paper print, now housed at the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow, UK, transports viewers to a world where nature and symbolism intertwine seamlessly. In this enchanting artwork, we witness a pelican perched upon a tree branch with its young nestled safely in their nest. The bird's beak is open wide as it feeds its offspring with selfless devotion—a powerful symbol of sacrifice and nurturing love. Burne-Jones masterfully captures every intricate detail of the pelican's feathers and expression, bringing life to this mesmerizing scene. As one explores this stunning design further, they are reminded of William Morris' influence on the arts and crafts movement during this era. The harmonious blend of nature-inspired motifs with pre-Raphaelite aesthetics creates an ethereal atmosphere that captivates all who gaze upon it. This extraordinary cartoon serves as both a study for stained glass production and as an independent work of art. Its delicate lines and vibrant colours evoke a sense of wonderment while showcasing Burne-Jones' exceptional skill as an artist. The Pelican stands not only as a testament to artistic brilliance but also as a reminder that even in our modern world, symbols can still hold great power.
