EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pictures of the Year- IX, 'A Child Playing the Violin', 1888" by Arthur Dampier May takes us back to the enchanting world of Victorian Britain. The image features a fair-haired young girl, completely absorbed in her musical performance. With utmost concentration and poise, she holds a violin against her delicate shoulder, while her fingers gracefully dance along its strings. May's artistic portrayal beautifully captures both the innocence of childhood and the passion for music. The girl's focused expression reveals her dedication to mastering this intricate instrument at such a tender age. As we gaze upon this portrait, we can almost hear the sweet melodies that emanate from her fiddle. The photograph originates from The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper published during July to December 1888. It is evident that May possessed great skill in capturing intimate moments through his lens, as he expertly showcases not only his subject but also their surroundings with remarkable detail. As we admire this piece of art from the late 19th century, it serves as a reminder of how timeless certain pursuits are. Music has always been able to transcend time and connect people across generations. This particular image encapsulates that sentiment perfectly – reminding us of our shared human experiences through creativity and expression. Arthur Dampier May's work continues to be cherished today for its ability to transport viewers into another era while evoking emotions that resonate within our own hearts.
