EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration by Millicent Sowerby, featured in the Tatler on 1st December 1909, transports us back to a bygone era of Edwardian society. The delicate lines and intricate details bring to life the enchanting story penned by her sister Githa Sowerby, titled "The Princess with the Sleeping Heart".
Millicent Sowerby was renowned for her illustrations of classic children's tales such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and A Child's Garden of Verses. Her artistic talent shone through in this particular piece, capturing the essence of a fairy tale world where princes and princesses reign supreme.
In this illustration, we see a prince kneeling before a slumbering princess, perhaps about to awaken her from an enchanted sleep with true love's kiss. The scene is filled with romance and intrigue, drawing viewers into a magical realm where anything is possible.
Millicent's work often graced postcards featuring children at play, nursery rhymes, and scenes from Shakespearean plays. Her collaboration with Githa on children's books further solidified her legacy as a gifted illustrator who brought stories to life through her artistry.
As we gaze upon this timeless image from over a century ago, we are reminded of the enduring power of storytelling and how illustrations can truly captivate our imaginations.
