EDITORS COMMENTS
(Dream of Love), Circa 1901 This enchanting illustration, titled "Songe D'Amours" (Dream of Love), dates back to circa 1901, and transports us to a heavenly realm where love takes center stage. The scene unfolds in the intimate setting of a young lady's bedroom, as she lies in the embrace of slumber, her eyes closed in blissful reverie. Surrounding her, a captivating tableau comes to life, as a group of cherubic children, their faces framed by delicate angelic wings, hover above her, gazing down with tender affection. The ethereal atmosphere is further enhanced by the gentle play of light and shadow, as the children's wings create a soft, ethereal glow, casting a warm, protective halo around the sleeping beauty. The delicate pastel colors and intricate details of the children's wings, their flowing robes, and the ornate bedspread, all contribute to the dreamlike quality of the image. This illustration is a testament to the power of love, as it transcends the boundaries of reality and transports us to a realm of pure imagination. The children's presence serves as a reminder that love is a universal force, one that touches us all, from the youngest among us to the most mature. This exquisite work of art is a masterpiece by the renowned French caricaturist, Jean-Louis Henry Gerbault, from the esteemed collection "Les Maitres de la Caricature," published in the September issue of "Album des Maitres de la Caricature" in 1901. The illustration offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the past, inviting us to savor the beauty and wonder of a bygone era.
