EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Wedge" showcases a young boy engrossed in a game. The illustration was originally created for The Boys Modern Playmate, a popular children's book published by Frederick Warne around 1890. In this delightful scene, we see the boy surrounded by firewood and kindling, suggesting that he is preparing to start a fire. His focus is on carefully arranging the wood in a wedge shape, perhaps as part of a playful challenge or competition with his friends. The artist skillfully captures the innocence and enthusiasm of childhood through this charming depiction. The intricate details of the engraving highlight not only the boy's concentration but also his joy in engaging with nature and exploring his surroundings. The image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when children found entertainment in simple games and outdoor activities. It serves as a reminder of the importance of playfulness and imagination in our lives, even amidst modern advancements. This print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It transports us back to an era where creativity thrived within every aspect of life – from literature to illustrations – leaving us longing for those carefree moments spent playing games with friends under sunny skies.
