Save a Kiss for Me
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and evocative image captured by the skilled hand of British artist Ethel Parkinson in 1911. This photograph print portrays a young girl, perhaps around six or seven years old, engrossed in a tender moment with her doll. Her expression is one of deep concentration as she leans in to plant a kiss on the doll's cheek, her eyes closed in the act. The boy standing beside her, seemingly forgotten, looks on with a mixture of curiosity and perhaps even a hint of sadness. The title of the artwork, "Save a Kiss for Me," adds an extra layer of meaning to the scene. It could be interpreted as a reminder from the girl to her doll, or even a wish that her absent lover or father might one day return to receive such affection. The title also suggests a sense of longing and yearning, which is further emphasized by the girl's intense focus on her doll. Ethel Parkinson's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and texture in the image, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to explore the emotions and thoughts of the young girl. The delicate details of her clothing and the intricately stitched features of the doll add to the overall sense of nostalgia and charm. This photograph print, taken over a century ago, continues to resonate with audiences today due to its timeless themes of love, longing, and the power of the imagination. It serves as a reminder of the simple joys and heartaches of childhood, and the enduring capacity of art to capture and preserve these moments in time.
