Star Gazing

A lovely young maiden sits by the shore star-gazing in this vintage drawing. Could she be waiting for someone to come home or is she wishing to to find someone to be a part of her life?

The author of Victorian Songs – Lyrics of the Affections and Nature used a number of illustrations by Edmund H. Garrett (1853-1929) to illustrate his 1895 work.
