EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful colour lithograph titled "Wonderful England: Crossing the road with the help of a policeman" we are transported back in time to a charming scene from early 20th century England. The print, created by Mary Francis Ames, captures the essence of a bygone era filled with innocence and whimsy. The image depicts a bustling street corner where children eagerly await their turn to cross the road. A kind-hearted policeman stands tall amidst the chaos, his presence bringing order and safety to this lively scene. With his outstretched arm and watchful gaze, he guides each child across with care and precision. This illustration was originally featured in Mrs Ernest Ames' book "Wonderful England! or, The Happy Land!" published around 1902. It perfectly encapsulates the spirit of that time - an era marked by nationalistic pride and imperialistic ideals. With its vibrant colours and playful composition, this print not only serves as a historical snapshot but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. Its humorous undertones add an element of comic relief, making it appealing to both adults and children alike. As we admire this piece from our private collection today, let us appreciate the timeless themes it represents - community support, childhood wonderment, and above all else, gratitude for those who dedicate themselves to keeping us safe on our journeys through life's busy streets.
