When Peter Lost His Shadow,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating image from the beloved children's story "Peter Pan" by J.M. Barrie, comes to life in this beautiful postcard published by Humphrey Milford as part of their "Postcards for the Little Ones" series. The Peter Pan Postcards, created in collaboration with renowned illustrator Amy Millicent Sowerby, were first introduced in 1920. In this enchanting scene, Peter Pan, the iconic character who refuses to grow up, is depicted standing on the edge of a cliff, looking down at his shadow that has been left behind. The image captures the moment of realization and concern on Peter's face as he reaches out to touch his shadow, trying to reattach it to his body. The soft hues of the sunset and the gentle breeze in Peter's hair add to the whimsical and magical atmosphere of the scene. Amy Millicent Sowerby's illustration masterfully brings the story to life, showcasing her exceptional artistic skills and attention to detail. The use of delicate lines, warm colors, and expressive facial features perfectly capture the essence of Peter Pan and his world. The publication of these postcards by Humphrey Milford marked a significant moment in the history of children's literature and illustration. They not only provided an affordable way for families to share the magic of Peter Pan with their loved ones but also served as a testament to the enduring appeal of J.M. Barrie's classic tale. This postcard is a delightful piece of children's literature history, inviting us to revisit the enchanting world of Peter Pan and his adventures in Neverland.
