EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage print, we are transported back to the Victorian era where a group of children can be seen riding on donkeys, fully immersed in their imaginative play as cavalrymen. With wooden swords held high and folded paper helmets adorning their heads, these young adventurers embody the spirit of youthful innocence and creativity. As they gallop through an open field, it is evident that these children have embraced their roles wholeheartedly. Their faces are filled with excitement and determination as they pretend to be mounted soldiers on majestic horses. The donkeys dutifully carry them along, adding a touch of whimsy to this delightful scene. At the forefront of the image stands an officer inspecting his troops with great seriousness. Dressed in what appears to be a makeshift uniform, he takes his role seriously and ensures that his fellow comrades are ready for any imaginary battle that may come their way. This print captures not only the joyous nature of childhood but also highlights the importance of imagination and make-believe play in fostering creativity and growth. It serves as a reminder that even simple props like wooden swords and folded paper helmets can transport us into fantastical worlds where anything is possible. Whitemay's reproduction beautifully preserves this nostalgic moment from R. Caldecott's "A Sketch-Book" allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic charm for years to come.
