EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Baby and Baby" by Mortimer L Menpes captures a heartwarming moment in late 19th century Japan. The image showcases the tender bond between a mother and her two young children, as she carries them on her back while they peacefully sleep. The artist's skilled use of color brings out the vibrant hues of pink blossoms in the background, creating a serene atmosphere. The exhausted yet devoted mother is dressed in traditional Japanese attire, wearing a beautiful kimono that adds to the cultural richness of the scene. Her tired expression reflects the challenges of parenting but also conveys an undeniable sense of love and dedication towards her little ones. The setting appears to be a rural area with a charming building exterior visible behind them, adding depth to this snapshot from daily life in early 20th century Japan. This evocative portrait encapsulates both the timeless concept of motherhood and provides us with insight into Japanese family life during this period. Originally published as part of Menpes' book "Japan - A Record in Colour" this print serves as an invaluable historical document capturing not only individual moments but also broader societal dynamics. It reminds us that despite being taken over a century ago, themes such as maternal care and familial bonds remain universal throughout time.
