EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white illustration from 1938, titled "Susan Sits Alone on the Fence," we find ourselves in the quiet, contemplative world of a young girl named Susan. The scene is set in the 1930s, a time when the world was on the brink of change, and the simple pleasures of childhood were being overshadowed by the looming realities of adulthood. Susan, a thoughtful and bookish girl, sits unhappily on a fence, her silhouette framed against the backdrop of a rolling countryside. Her expression is one of sadness and disappointment, her brow furrowed as she ponders the impending marriage of Dunderpate, a local dunce, to either the tailor's daughter or the baker's daughter. The image captures the essence of Susan's loneliness and isolation, as she watches her friends Mary and the other children play in the distance. She clutches a book tightly in her hands, her only solace in a world where education and intelligence are not valued as highly as they should be. The illustration is a poignant reminder of the challenges and heartaches that come with growing up, and the importance of cherishing the simple joys of childhood while they last. Susan's story is one of friendship, sadness, and the desire for a better future, all set against the backdrop of a bygone era. This beautiful illustration, with its intricate details and evocative use of light and shadow, is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the universal experiences of love, loss, and the passage of time.
