EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait, Viola Meynell captures the youthful charm and literary spirit of Daisy Ashford, the remarkable young author who gained international recognition at the tender age of nine for her novel "The Young Visiters." The photograph, published in The Bookman magazine in 1919, offers a glimpse into the life of this extraordinary girl who wrote her first novel as a lark, unaware that it would capture the imagination of readers around the world. The portrait, skillfully rendered by artist Robert Swan, reveals Daisy's expressive face, framed by a cascade of curly brown hair. Her bright, intelligent eyes gaze directly at the viewer, inviting us into her world of words and imagination. The delicate folds of her dress, the intricate beading on her collar, and the delicate lace of her sleeves all speak to the elegance and refinement of the era, while the unassuming simplicity of her pose belies the complexity of her literary achievements. At the time this portrait was taken, Daisy had already become a sensation, with her novel being published in multiple languages and garnering critical acclaim. Yet, despite her newfound fame, she remained a humble and unassuming child, continuing to live her life with the same curiosity and creativity that had inspired her to write her first novel. This portrait of Daisy Ashford, captured by Viola Meynell and published in The Bookman, serves as a testament to the power of the written word and the boundless potential of the human imagination. It is a reminder that even the most extraordinary accomplishments can begin with the simplest of beginnings, and that the world is full of stories waiting to be told.
