EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 17th century, where renowned British poet John Milton is depicted dictating his masterpiece "Paradise Lost" to his daughter. The colour lithograph beautifully captures the intimate scene of a father and daughter engaged in literary creation. Despite being blind, Milton's disability does not hinder his creative spirit as he passionately shares his poetic genius with his attentive daughter. His sightless eyes may be unable to see the world around him, but they possess an extraordinary vision that brings forth profound words and imagery. The image showcases the power of love and determination, as well as the strength of familial bonds. It serves as a reminder that disabilities do not define one's abilities or limit their contributions to society. Set in Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire, this momentous occasion unfolds within the walls of their home. The tranquil atmosphere provides a serene backdrop for their collaboration on one of literature's most celebrated works. This print offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating both Milton's remarkable talent and his daughter's role in preserving and immortalizing her father's words. It reminds us that great art knows no boundaries and can transcend physical limitations.
