EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting watercolor illustration, titled "Paradise and the Peri - The Treasure," was published as the cover art for the Christmas Number issue of The Illustrated London News on December 7, 1923. The image captures a moment of wonder and delight as a beautiful woman, adorned in exotic garments, discovers a hidden chest of treasure in a lush, idyllic paradise. The scene is inspired by the music of Robert Schumann and the poem "Lalla Rookh" by Thomas Moore. Schumann's musical composition, "Liederkreis, Op. 39," was based on poems from "Lalla Rookh," a collection of oriental tales by Thomas Moore. The poems, set to music, tell stories of love, adventure, and the supernatural in exotic locales. The image of the woman and the treasure chest may be a visual representation of the treasure discovered in one of these tales. The Peri, a supernatural being from Persian and Arabic mythology, is often depicted as a beautiful, winged spirit who brings good fortune and protects humans. In this illustration, the Peri may be the guardian of the treasure, guiding the woman to the hidden chest. The watercolor technique used in this illustration adds to the dreamlike quality of the scene, with its vibrant colors and intricate detail. The image invites the viewer to imagine the story behind the woman's discovery and the treasure's origin, making it a captivating work of art that continues to intrigue and delight.
