EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting illustration by the renowned British artist William Heath Robinson, we find Tom, the Water Babies' protagonist, gazing in awe at the breathtaking sight of the black cedars. This scene is taken from Charles Kingsley's beloved novel, "The Water Babies," first published in 1863. Tom, a mischievous and curious boy, has been transformed into a water baby after falling into the river Duddon. As he embarks on his extraordinary journey, he encounters various wondrous creatures and learns valuable life lessons. In this moment, Tom stands at the edge of a rocky cliff, surrounded by the towering black cedars, their gnarled branches reaching out like welcoming arms. The trees, with their dark, glossy trunks and lush green foliage, create a striking contrast against the bright blue water and sunlit sky. The rocks at Tom's feet are worn smooth by the relentless flow of the water, adding to the sense of tranquility and serenity. William Heath Robinson's illustration, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, perfectly captures the magical and imaginative world of "The Water Babies." This image not only serves as a visual representation of the story but also invites the viewer to step into Tom's world and explore the wonders that lie beneath the surface. Courtesy of Mrs J. C. Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library. Date: 1947.
