EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MASEFIELD: SEA FEVER, 1902" transports us to the vastness of the sea and sky. The image beautifully captures the essence of English poet John Masefield's famous poem, "Sea Fever" which speaks to our innate desire for adventure and connection with nature. Illustrated by Charles Pears for Masefield's book, Salt-Water Ballads, this artwork depicts a lone sailor aboard a majestic tall ship. Against a backdrop of billowing clouds and an expansive ocean, the sailor stands at the helm, gazing towards a distant star. The image exudes both tranquility and anticipation as it evokes feelings of longing for exploration. The turn-of-the-century setting adds an air of nostalgia to this maritime scene. It reminds us of an era when sailing ships were still prevalent before modern technology took over. This illustration serves as a reminder that even in times of adversity or danger at sea, there is an undeniable allure that draws individuals back to its embrace. With its timeless appeal and poetic symbolism, this print invites viewers to embark on their own personal journeys - whether they be physical voyages or metaphorical quests for self-discovery. It encapsulates our yearning for freedom amidst life's storms while reminding us that sometimes all we need is a tall ship and a guiding star to navigate through them.
