EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of illustrations from "Grandfather's Picture Book" dating back to the year 1875. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, these lithographs were published as an instructive and humorous educational book by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. The book encompasses a delightful array of nursery rhymes, light-hearted everyday scenes, and whimsical cartoons. In this particular image, we are transported to a world where dogs walk upright on their hind legs while perusing a quaint old-fashioned bookshop. A steam-powered contraption adds an element of wonder and fantasy to the scene, capturing our imagination with its ingenuity. Nearby, Old Mother Hubbard is depicted in her iconic role as she navigates through her daily routine of shaving and feeding her loyal canine companion. The intricate engravings beautifully capture every detail - from the walking stick held firmly in one character's hand to the double-faced nature of another figure. Each illustration tells its own story within this enchanting picture book. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us to different eras and evoke emotions that transcend time itself. It serves as both a testament to artistic craftsmanship and a nostalgic glimpse into Victorian-era storytelling at its finest.
