EDITORS COMMENTS
Instructing her dolly in the art of going off nicely to by-byes, 1914" captures a tender moment between a sleepy child and her beloved doll. This enchanting photo print, taken from "Princess Mary's Gift Book" showcases the timeless bond between children and their toys. In this image, we witness a young girl dressed in an elegant nightdress, gently guiding her doll through the bedtime routine. With utmost care and tenderness, she imparts upon her cherished companion the importance of peacefully drifting off to sleep. The soft lighting adds an ethereal touch to the scene, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and innocence. Millicent Etheldreda Gray's artistic prowess shines through in this piece as she skillfully portrays not only the physical details but also the emotional connection shared between child and toy. Through delicate brushstrokes and subtle color choices, Gray brings life to this intimate moment frozen in time. This particular print holds historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. Published during World War One on behalf of Princess Mary for charitable purposes, it symbolizes compassion towards women affected by war. Princess Mary herself was actively involved in philanthropic endeavors during those challenging times. As we gaze upon this artwork today, let us be reminded of the enduring power of imagination and playfulness that transcends generations. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst turmoil or uncertainty, there is solace to be found within our cherished childhood memories.
