EDITORS COMMENTS
Our Boys, or, 'His Likeness You May See' captures the innocence and camaraderie of childhood in the 19th century. This enchanting engraving by an English School artist depicts a group of young boys, brothers perhaps, engaged in playful mischief. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to this nostalgic scene. The artist skillfully portrays the unique personalities of each child through their expressions and body language. Their mischievous grins suggest that they are up to some secret adventure or game. It is as if we have stumbled upon them during a moment of pure joy and freedom. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings out the texture of their clothing and unruly hair. The children's likeness to one another emphasizes their bond as siblings or close friends. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for Home Words magazine in 1891, capturing the hearts of readers with its charm and relatability. Today, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless portrayal of childhood innocence. As we gaze at 'Our Boys, ' we are reminded that despite being separated by time and technology, the essence of childhood remains unchanged – laughter, curiosity, and unbreakable bonds between friends or siblings.
