EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating illustration titled "It Was One of the Strangest Sights that Ever Was" transports viewers into a whimsical world where animals defy the laws of nature. Created by John Edwin Noble for the children's book "Animal Legends from Many Lands" this colour lithograph captures a moment from the story "The Tortoise who Could not Hold Her Tongue". In this peculiar scene, a stork gracefully soars through the sky, carrying an unlikely passenger - a tortoise! The humorous and fantastical elements come to life as we witness this extraordinary flight taking place. The stork's wings are outstretched, effortlessly supporting its unusual burden while maintaining an air of elegance. This enchanting artwork invites us to imagine what might have led these two creatures on such an improbable journey. Perhaps it is a tale of friendship or cooperation between species, reminding us that even in the most unexpected circumstances, unity can be found. Noble's attention to detail and vibrant use of color bring vitality to every element within the composition. From the intricate feathers adorning the stork's majestic body to the determined expression on the tortoise's face, each character exudes personality and charm. "It Was One of the Strangest Sights that Ever Was" serves as both an invitation into a magical realm and a reminder that imagination knows no bounds. As we gaze upon this delightful print, we are transported back to our own childhoods when anything seemed possible if only we dared to dream.
