The Dream
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Slumbering Soldier's Idyllic Vision of Home in the Amidst of War This enchanting image, titled "The Dream," captures the tranquil and romantic longing of a weary soldier during the tumultuous times of World War 1. The soldier, lost in slumber, is transported to an idyllic English country garden, where the gentle charm of a timbered house and the sweet presence of a saintly sweetheart beckon from afar. The artist behind this work is Mabel Lucie Attwell, a renowned English illustrator and author, whose style is prettily decorative and reminiscent of the traditions of Charles Robinson. Mabel's talents extended beyond illustration, and she penned romantic novels that mirrored the dreamy romance of her picture. "The Wisdom of Waiting" and "Commonplace and Clementine," published in 1912 and 1913 respectively, were among her most popular titles. The soldier's watch lies forgotten on the bedside table, the hands of time seemingly at a standstill as he surrenders to the enchanting allure of his dreams. The war outside is a distant memory, replaced by the gentle sounds of nature and the comforting embrace of home. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the power of dreams to provide solace and hope, even in the most challenging of times. The soldier's peaceful slumber is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the longing for love and comfort that transcends the realities of war. Date: 1915.
