I had a penny!
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming chromolitho print from the 19th century, capturing a delightful moment in time. The image showcases an English School's illustration for Chatterbox magazine in 1894, now part of a private collection. In this scene, we witness the enchanting interaction between several animals and their newfound treasure. A gate stands tall in the background, separating the animal kingdom from our human world. A mischievous sea bird proudly holds up a shiny penny it has discovered on its adventures by the shore. Its fellow feathered friends gather around curiously, as if admiring its lucky find. This artwork transports us to a simpler era when even small treasures like pennies could bring joy and excitement to both humans and animals alike. It reminds us of the universal fascination with wealth and how something as simple as money can unite different species through curiosity and wonder. The vibrant colors used in this chromolitho technique add depth and liveliness to each character portrayed – from the intricate details of each bird's feathers to their expressive eyes filled with intrigue. "I had a penny!" captures not only wildlife but also celebrates our shared sense of discovery and delight at finding unexpected treasures along life's journey. Bridgeman Images' reproduction ensures that this fascinating piece continues to captivate viewers today, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty for generations to come.
