EDITORS COMMENTS
The True Born Englishman (1904) by Ethel Parkinson This image, created by English artist Ethel Parkinson in 1904, depicts a traditional English soldier taking a hearty sip from a jug of ale. The title of the work, "The True Born Englishman," is derived from a well-known English folk song with the same name. The lyrics of the song celebrate the virtues of being born English and the joy of sharing a drink with fellow countrymen. Ethel Parkinson, a prolific painter, captured the essence of English pride and camaraderie in this evocative work. The soldier, dressed in his full regalia, exudes a sense of strength and resilience, embodying the spirit of the English people. The jug of ale, a symbol of unity and shared experience, adds to the overall sense of community and tradition. The use of warm, earthy tones and intricate detail in the soldier's uniform and the textured surface of the jug further enhance the authenticity and appeal of the artwork. Parkinson's masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to a bygone era. This image is not only a beautiful representation of English heritage but also a testament to the enduring power of traditional music and song. The connection between the song's lyrics and the image reinforces the idea that music and art have the ability to evoke powerful emotions and memories, transcending time and place.
