EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Children Watching a Play, 1903" artist Mortimer L Menpes beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era. The scene unfolds outdoors, under the night sky, where a group of children eagerly gather to witness an enchanting theatrical performance. The young spectators are completely engrossed in the play unfolding before them. Their faces reflect a mix of awe, excitement, and wonder as they watch intently from their vantage point. Some sit on the ground while others stand or lean against each other for support. A few carry parasols, hinting at warm weather or perhaps adding to their sense of adventure. This snapshot in time transports us back to early 20th century England when literature and drama held great importance in society's cultural fabric. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we can almost hear the laughter and applause that must have filled the air during those magical moments. Mortimer Menpes' artistic talent shines through as he expertly captures not only the expressions on these young faces but also their collective anticipation and joy. This print is part of his larger work "World Pictures" which was accompanied by text written by Dorothy Menpes. As we admire this portrait frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how art has always had the power to captivate hearts across generations - even over a century later.
