EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Messmates" we are transported back to the 19th century, where a young boy finds solace in the company of his feathered friends. The image captures a tender moment as the child sits on a wooden bench, surrounded by birds perched on his shoulders and outstretched hands. With an expression of pure joy and innocence, he delicately offers them pieces of bread, their beaks eagerly reaching for the tasty morsels. The artist, F. M. Stark, skillfully portrays the bond between humans and animals in this Victorian-era scene. It is evident that these birds have become trusted companions to the young boy – messmates who share not only food but also friendship. Their presence brings comfort and happiness to his solitary world. This enchanting illustration originally appeared in The Boys Own Annual magazine in 1897, capturing hearts with its timeless charm. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of simpler times when children found delight in simple pleasures like feeding birds. "Messmates" serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst life's challenges or within the pages of history books lies beauty worth cherishing – moments frozen forever through artistry such as this one captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection.
