EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting tale of "Old Man Kangaroo when he was the Different Animal with four short legs". Illustrated by Rudyard Kipling and published in London in 1951, this image is a delightful representation from his renowned collection, Just So Stories for Little Children. In this scene, we witness Old Man Kangaroo at a time when he possessed four short legs instead of his iconic long hind limbs. The illustration showcases his transformation as he leaps gracefully through an Australian landscape during sunrise. With a wreath adorning his head and surrounded by vibrant flowers, Old Man Kangaroo exudes an air of joy and freedom. The artist skillfully depicts the wild animal's dance-like movements, capturing the essence of its boomer nature. As it jumps and dances across the outcrop, one can almost feel the energy emanating from this lively creature. The engraving technique used adds depth to every detail, enhancing our appreciation for Kipling's imaginative storytelling. This print serves as a beautiful reminder of Kipling's ability to transport readers into fantastical worlds filled with anthropomorphic animals. It invites us to embrace our own sense of wonderment while exploring the rich tapestry of nature's diversity.
