EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "So the pretty speech they had made the ruffians hearts relent" transports us back to the enchanting world of nursery rhymes in the 1930s. Created by Frank Adams, a renowned American artist, this print is part of a private collection that cherishes timeless art. The scene depicted in this litho captures a pivotal moment from the beloved tale of "Babes in Wood". With intricate costumes and attention to detail, Adams skillfully portrays two innocent children pleading for mercy from heartless ruffians. The fear etched on their faces tugs at our heartstrings as we witness their desperate plea for compassion. Adams' mastery lies not only in his ability to capture emotions but also in his use of light and shadow. The contrast between darkness and light adds depth to this engraving, intensifying both the vulnerability of these young souls and the sinister nature of their captors. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, we are reminded of the power that words can hold. The "pretty speech" mentioned in its title serves as an agent for change, melting even the coldest hearts. It reminds us that amidst adversity, there is always hope. This lithograph invites us into a world where imagination intertwines with reality—a place where stories come alive through art's transformative touch. Let it serve as a reminder that beauty can be found even within tales filled with hardship and uncertainty.
