EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Some loitered on the way, c1885" and created by Randolph Caldecott in 1934, takes us back to a simpler time. The scene is from the nursery rhyme "Come Lasses and Lads" beautifully illustrated by Caldecott in his renowned book "The Panjandrum Picture Book". In this enchanting countryside setting, we witness a delightful moment of romance unfolding. As spring or summer fills the air with its vibrant colors, men and women gather at an idyllic gate entrance. Some walk briskly towards their destination while others can't resist lingering along the way. Amidst whispers of flirtation and laughter, twelve kisses bind these couples together until they meet again on the next holiday. The rural backdrop adds to the charm of this Victorian-era illustration, evoking a sense of rustic simplicity and regionalism. Caldecott's masterful use of color brings life to each character as they engage in playful courtship rituals. This artwork captures not only a specific moment but also embodies timeless themes of love and connection that resonate across generations. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where nature intertwines with human emotions—a testament to Caldecott's artistic prowess. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our busy lives, it is essential to pause occasionally and savor those fleeting moments filled with joyous anticipation and tender affection.
