EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "V the Vacant, 1903" by renowned artist John Hassall takes us back to a whimsical era of British culture in the early 20th century. The image is an initial letter V from a child's alphabet book called "An A. B. C. of Everyday People" by G. E. Farrow. In this peculiar portrait, we see a man scratching his head with a perplexed expression on his face, symbolizing confusion and bewilderment. Dressed in traditional attire for a wedding ceremony, he stands against the backdrop of a church, representing religious customs and marriage traditions. Hassall's use of vibrant colors adds an element of humor to this bizarre scene as the groom appears lost amidst his thoughts. This metaphorical depiction cleverly captures the daily life experiences that often leave us scratching our heads in puzzlement. This print not only showcases Hassall's artistic brilliance but also serves as an intriguing glimpse into British society during that time period. It reminds us of the importance literature played in shaping character and values among children through imaginative storytelling. As we admire this quirky artwork, it invites us to reflect on our own encounters with moments of vacancy or confusion throughout life's journey. Through its visual charm and historical significance, "V the Vacant" continues to captivate viewers even after more than a century since its creation.
