EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "The Babes in the Wood" transports us into a world of enchantment and adventure. Created by the talented artist Hubert von Herkomer in 1880, this print captures a moment from a beloved children's book illustration. The scene depicts two young children, lost and vulnerable, surrounded by an ancient forest teeming with life. As we gaze at this artwork, our eyes are immediately drawn to the majestic dragon and regal lion standing guard over the babes. These mythical creatures symbolize both danger and protection, adding an element of suspense to the narrative. The dense wood behind them exudes an air of mystery as shafts of sunlight filter through its branches. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line and shadow brings depth and texture to the image. We can almost feel the roughness of the timber stacked nearby – firewood waiting patiently for its purpose. It serves as a reminder that even amidst perilous circumstances, there is always hope for warmth and comfort. "The Babes in the Wood" reminds us of timeless stories passed down through generations – tales that ignite our imagination and teach valuable lessons about resilience and courage. This print invites us to step into a world where innocence meets adversity, where heroes emerge from unexpected places. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this piece continues to captivate audiences with its evocative storytelling ability. As we admire it today, let us be transported back to childhood wonderment while pondering what adventures lie ahead
