EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Dulce Domum or the Return from School" we are transported back to the year 1790, through an engraving by William Redmore Bigg. The scene depicts a heartwarming reunion as a family eagerly awaits the arrival of their daughter who is returning home from school. The image showcases a picturesque outdoor setting with lush greenery and a charming cottage-style house in the background. A group of people, including women, men, and children, gather at the front door with excitement etched across their faces. The father stands proudly at the forefront while gesturing towards his daughter's imminent arrival. As anticipation fills the air, even their loyal canine companion joins in on the joyous occasion. The artist beautifully captures various emotions - from happiness to curiosity - on each individual's face as they eagerly await this long-awaited homecoming. This enchanting artwork not only portrays a tender moment between family members but also symbolizes themes of education and parenting during that era. It serves as a reminder of how precious reunions were before modern transportation made them more frequent and accessible. "Dulce Domum or the Return from School" immortalizes an exciting chapter in history when loved ones would anxiously wait for days or weeks for someone's return. This timeless piece evokes nostalgia and celebrates familial bonds that transcend time itself.
