About the Item

Back Cover illustration for the April 8, 1950 Easter edition of The War Cry, a magazine published by the Salvation Army This heartwarming image graced the back cover of the 1950 Easter edition of The War Cry, a magazine published by The Salvation Army. A young girl, clutching a Bible, turns to look at her parents who stand in the doorway, likely preparing to leave for Easter services. The artist cleverly utilizes a mirror above an entry table adorned with spring flowers, including tulips, daffodils, and white lilies. Reflected in the mirror, we see the girl's parents, both dressed in the distinctive uniforms of The Salvation Army. This mirrored composition not only reveals the full scene but also allows the little girl to make direct eye contact with the viewer, adding a touch of intimacy to the image.
