EDITORS COMMENTS
In this and timeless image titled "What Shall I Read?", we are transported to a bygone era where the love for literature is beautifully captured. The colour lithograph, created by Florence Marlowe in the late 19th century, showcases a young boy engrossed in his collection of books, accompanied by his faithful canine companion. The scene exudes an air of curiosity and contemplation as the boy stands before a shelf filled with literary treasures. With a thoughtful expression on his face, he ponders which book will transport him to new worlds and ignite his imagination. His loyal dog sits patiently beside him, seemingly sharing in his excitement for the adventure that awaits within those pages. Marlowe's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate patterns on the spines of each book to the subtle play of light filtering through a nearby window. The artist masterfully captures not only the physical presence of these cherished objects but also their intangible power to inspire and educate. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our enduring relationship with literature - how it has shaped generations past and continues to shape our present. It invites us to reflect upon our own choices when faced with an array of books, urging us to embrace knowledge, expand our horizons, and embark on journeys that words alone can provide. "What Shall I Read?" is more than just an exquisite piece of art; it encapsulates the universal longing for intellectual growth and discovery that transcends time itself.
