A Days Outing
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolour painting from the year 1918, showcasing the simple joys of family life during a time of great change. The scene unfolds at the edge of a bustling fun fair, where a man and woman, dressed in the fashion of the era, sit on a checked blanket, enjoying a peaceful moment of respite. Their two little boys, dressed in knickers and socks, sit before them, engrossed in their toys and seemingly oblivious to the excitement of the fairground attractions nearby. The painting, with its vibrant colours and intricate details, is a beautiful representation of the interplay between work and leisure during this period. The man, with a serious expression, holds a cup of tea in one hand and a newspaper in the other, while the woman gazes lovingly at her husband and children. The fun fair, with its colorful tents and merry-go-round, serves as a backdrop to their domestic bliss. This watercolour painting was first published in the August 1919 issue of Volume 11 of "March of the Women" magazine. The publication was known for its social commentary and advocacy for women's rights, making this image a poignant reminder of the balance between the personal and the political in the lives of women during this time. The artist behind this masterpiece is Ernest Borough Johnson, whose work captured the essence of everyday life in the early 20th century. This painting is a testament to the enduring power of family and the simple pleasures of a day out, and continues to resonate with viewers more than a century later.
