EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Down he went like the brave little man as he was, from The Water Babies pub. by Humphrey Milford Oxford University Press, c. 1930" transports us to a world of imagination and adventure. Created by the talented illustrator Albert Edward Jackson in 1930, this colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment from Charles Kingsley's beloved children's book "The Water Babies". In this scene, we witness Tom, the courageous protagonist of the story, descending into an unknown realm with fearless determination. Clad in his distinctive costume and surrounded by a picturesque landscape of sea, stream, and cottage nestled in a lush valley, Tom is accompanied by an Irishwoman who guides him on his extraordinary journey. Jackson's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this enchanting illustration to life. From the vibrant hues that evoke a sense of wonderment to the intricate costumes that reflect the era's fashion sensibilities, each aspect contributes to creating an immersive visual experience. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork housed within a private collection today, it serves as a reminder of how literature can transport us beyond our reality into realms where bravery knows no bounds. This piece not only pays homage to Jackson's artistic prowess but also celebrates Kingsley's timeless tale that continues to captivate readers young and old alike across generations.
