EDITORS COMMENTS
Tom finds solace in the embrace of the sea, as captured by Jessie Wilcox Smith in her enchanting illustration 'Tom sat upon the buoy long days, 1916. ' This print transports us to a simpler time, where a young boy seeks refuge on a weathered buoy amidst the vastness of the ocean. With his legs dangling above crystal-clear waters and waves crashing against jagged rocks, Tom's contemplative gaze hints at an inner world filled with dreams and wonder. Smith's skillful brushstrokes bring Charles Kingsley's beloved story, 'The Water Babies, ' to life. Published in New York City by Dodd, Mead & Co. , this timeless image has captivated generations of readers since its release in 1916. The artist masterfully captures Tom's innocence and curiosity through meticulous attention to detail – from his tousled hair blowing gently in the breeze to his tiny hands gripping onto the buoy for stability. As we admire this iconic piece of American artistry, we are reminded of our own childhood adventures by the seaside. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amid turbulent times like those faced during World War I when this artwork was created – children still found solace and joy within nature's embrace. Let Jessie Wilcox Smith’s evocative illustration transport you back to a simpler era where imagination thrived and endless possibilities awaited just beyond the horizon.
