EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from "Prothalmion" by Edmund Spenser, featured in The Book of Old English Songs and Ballads. Published around 1910 by Hodder and Stoughton, this color lithograph was created by the talented artist Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale (1871-1945). The image transports us to a serene riverbank where a mesmerizing female figure emerges gracefully from the water. Adorned with lush green locks cascading freely down her back, she embodies both purity and sensuality. Her presence exudes an ethereal beauty that captivates the viewer. Surrounded by vibrant flowers in bloom, this enchanting scene evokes a sense of romance and tranquility. It reflects the essence of wedding poetry as each strand of her hair represents past brides who have embraced love's journey. Fortescue-Brickdale's artistic style resonates with Pre-Raphaelite influences, characterized by its attention to detail and emphasis on natural beauty. The subtle nudity depicted adds an element of coy allure without detracting from the overall elegance portrayed. This stunning illustration captures not only physical beauty but also celebrates the idealized concept of feminine grace. Its timeless appeal continues to inspire viewers today, inviting them into a world where nature intertwines with human emotions in perfect harmony.
