The Close of the Season - A Bittersweet Farewell
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting illustration from the September 17, 1913 issue of Puck magazine, the summer season comes to an end as a mermaid bids adieu to the resort staff on shore. The mermaid, with her flowing hair and radiant smile, rides gracefully on the back of a majestic sea serpent, heading out to the open sea. As she turns to wave goodbye, the resort staff on the beach wave back, their faces filled with a mix of sadness and excitement. The mermaid's departure marks the end of another summer filled with sun, sand, and relaxation. The staff, who have spent the season welcoming guests and ensuring their comfort, now prepare for the quieter months ahead. The changing of the seasons brings a sense of closure, but also a hint of anticipation for what lies ahead. The illustration captures the bittersweet nature of endings and new beginnings. The mermaid's departure is a reminder that all good things must come to an end, but the staff's farewell wave suggests that they will be ready and waiting when the next season rolls around. This charming image from over a century ago continues to resonate with us today, reminding us of the cyclical nature of life and the importance of cherishing each moment. This illustration, titled "The Close of the Season," is a beautiful example of the whimsical and imaginative artwork that graced the pages of Puck magazine during its heyday. It is a reminder of a simpler time, when the changing of the seasons was a cause for reflection and celebration.
