EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting illustration from The Water Babies by Reverend Charles Kingsley, we are transported into a whimsical underwater world. Tom and Ellie, two adorable water babies, captivate our hearts as they embrace each other amidst a vibrant seabed teeming with colorful fish. The surprise on their faces suggests that they have stumbled upon something truly magical in the depths of the ocean. Perhaps it is a newfound friendship or an unexpected adventure awaiting them. Whatever it may be, their expressions convey pure joy and wonderment. This didactic moral fable takes us on a journey through the imagination of children, reminding us of the innocence and curiosity that resides within all young souls. It serves as both entertainment and education for little ones, teaching valuable life lessons along the way. Jessie Willcox Smith's masterful use of color lithography brings this delightful scene to life. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the intricate patterns on the fishes' scales to Tom and Ellie's tender embrace. The warmth emanating from their hug reminds us of the importance of love and connection in our lives. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power of storytelling to transport us to new worlds and ignite our imaginations. It serves as a beautiful reminder that even in an underwater realm filled with wild creatures, love can still blossom between two tiny water babies.
