The chromolitho artwork portrays a figure reaching out for success, yet facing obstacles that hinder their progress. Another one of Jackson's notable pieces is "I Walked about on the Table as the Girl Commanded. " This charming chromolitho illustration depicts a playful scene where a girl commands her toy figurine to come alive on the table. The colors are vivid and lively, bringing joy and imagination to life. In Blackie's Children's Annual, Nineteenth Year Book, Jackson created an enchanting book illustration titled "Pray what can I do for you Sir?" This piece captures a heartwarming interaction between two characters in a storybook world. The attention to detail in this color lithograph adds depth and emotion to the scene. Jackson also explored Shakespearean themes in his artistry. His color lithographs for plays like "The Tempest, " "Macbeth, " "Timon of Athens, " and "Romeo and Juliet" showcase his ability to bring these classic tales to life with rich hues and intricate details. One of Jackson's most memorable works is from Humphrey Milford Oxford University Press' publication of "The Water Babies. " In this colorful lithograph titled "Before them ran a gentleman steering a pig, " he captures whimsy as well as adventure.
