EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting frontispiece illustration by Warwick Goble from the 1922 edition of "The Water Babies" we are transported into a whimsical world where a little boy, known as a water baby, encounters the majestic beauty of nature. The scene unfolds in an idyllic pond setting, with lily pads floating gently on the water's surface. As our young protagonist gazes in awe, a mysterious creature suddenly emerges from the depths. With a gentle whirring sound, it ascends gracefully into the air and hangs poised on its delicate wings. It is none other than a dragonfly - king of all flies - captivating both the child and us with its ethereal presence. Warwick Goble's exquisite artwork brings this magical moment to life through vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. His skillful portrayal captures not only the physical attributes of these creatures but also their inherent grace and wonder. "The Water Babies" is an English children's literature classic that tells an imaginative tale filled with adventure and moral lessons. This frontispiece serves as an invitation for readers to dive into this fantastical world where nature reigns supreme. Hilary Morgan's print preserves this timeless piece of artistry, allowing us to appreciate Goble's talent while immersing ourselves in the charm of early 20th-century storytelling.
