EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively lithograph print captures the essence of joy and merriment through dance. Titled "Come, and trip it as you go, On the light fantastic toe" this artwork by Robert Anning Bell beautifully illustrates a scene from John Milton's poem L'Allegro. The image is part of Palgrave's Golden Treasury collection, published in 1907. In this enchanting depiction, a group of girls gracefully dances together with infectious happiness. Their colorful dresses swirl around them as they move to the rhythm of their own delight. The artist skillfully portrays their cheerful expressions and exuberant gestures, evoking a sense of gaiety that transcends time. The composition transports us to 17th century England, where poetry and literature flourished. It speaks to the universal human desire for connection, celebration, and pure enjoyment. The dancers seem to embody not only the spirit of English culture but also an expression of Germanic traditions prevalent in Northern Germany during that era. Through this artwork, we are reminded that dance has always been a powerful form of self-expression and emotional release across different cultures throughout history. It invites us to embrace our own inner joy and let ourselves be carried away on the wings of music and movement. This lithograph print serves as a timeless reminder that happiness can be found in even the simplest moments when we allow ourselves to surrender to the sheer pleasure of dancing with abandon on life's stage.
