EDITORS COMMENTS
The Shortest Day is a captivating colour lithograph that transports viewers to a cozy corner illuminated by the warm glow of candlelight. Created in the 19th century by Helen J.A. Miles, this print captures a moment of quiet contemplation and reflection during the darkest time of year.
In this scene from Dame Marjorie's Chimney Corner and China from her Cupboard, we see delicate Chinese porcelain displayed alongside flickering candles, creating a serene atmosphere that invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty of simplicity. The intricate details of the china contrast with the soft, diffused light of the candles, casting shadows that dance across the room.
As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the magic and mystery that can be found in everyday moments. The play between light and shadow evokes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia, transporting us back to a time when evenings were spent gathered around hearths sharing stories and laughter.
The Shortest Day is not just a beautiful work of art; it is also a reminder to embrace moments of stillness and find joy in life's simple pleasures. This print serves as a timeless reminder that even in our busiest days, there is always space for quiet reflection and connection with those we hold dear.
