When Susan Sings
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and evocative image from the "Susan" series of postcards published by Humphrey Milford in 1923. This beautiful work of art, created by the talented Lilian Price Hacker, was originally published by Liberty & Co. in 1912. Hacker, who was the wife of renowned artist Arthur Hacker, expertly captured the essence of childhood in this series, each image depicting young Susan in a different mood. In this particular print, Susan is shown with her eyes closed and a serene expression on her face as she sings. Her hands are delicately placed on the edge of a small table, and her dress flows gently around her, suggesting a sense of freedom and joy. The muted colors and soft focus of the image add to the dreamlike quality, transporting the viewer to a simpler time. The "Susan" series was immensely popular during the early 20th century, and these postcards were treasured keepsakes for children and collectors alike. The images of Susan in various moods, from playful to thoughtful, resonated with the public, and her enduring charm continues to captivate us today. Lilian Price Hacker's artwork is a testament to the power of imagination and the beauty of childhood. Through her delicate brushstrokes and evocative compositions, she invites us to revisit the innocence and wonder of our own youth. This print of "When Susan Sings" is a timeless treasure, a reminder of the simple joys and pleasures of being a child.
