27th Absence Anxiously Bestall Conscience Darling Good Promised Question Voice 1925
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, titled "That is the question!" by A.E. Bestall, captures a heartfelt moment between a mother and her young daughter from the past. The scene takes place in the cozy atmosphere of a Victorian-era home during the holiday season, as evidenced by the festive decorations adorning the walls and the fireplace. The small girl, dressed in a red velvet dress and white stockings, sits on her mother's lap, her expression filled with curiosity and a hint of anxiety. The mother, with a kind and reassuring smile, explains to her daughter that when she has done something wrong, her conscience will let her know. The girl, with wide, innocent eyes, asks if her mother's conscience will also guide her. The mother's response is not shown in the image, but the tenderness and love in her gaze speak volumes. Bestall's illustration, published in 1925, is a beautiful reminder of the importance of moral guidance and the bond between a mother and her child. The image, with its warm colors and intricate details, invites us to reflect on the lessons we learn from our parents and the role of conscience in our lives. This historical print, with its timeless message, is a must-have for anyone who cherishes the memories of their childhood and the wisdom of their mothers. This image is available for rights-managed use only from Mary Evans Picture Library, and is not to be used for commercial purposes without prior permission. The print measures 21 x 27.6 cm (8.25 x 10.8 inches), and is a testament to the enduring power of art to evoke emotions and transport us to another time and place.
