EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "U the Unhappy, 1903" artist John Hassall takes us on a whimsical journey through an alphabet of everyday people. From his book "An A. B. C. of Everyday People" we are introduced to a peculiar character - U, the unhappy child. The image portrays a young boy standing in front of a door, holding hands with his mother who wears an expression of concern. U's round and overweight figure adds to the comical nature of the scene, while his tantrum suggests that he is not pleased with something happening behind that door. Hassall's artwork captures the essence of early 20th-century Britain, where family dynamics and daily life were central themes. Through vibrant colors and clever details, he brings humor and quirkiness into this snapshot from another era. This print not only showcases Hassall's artistic talent but also highlights the importance of literature in shaping our understanding of society at different points in history. The ABC concept allows children to explore various professions and occupations while providing entertainment for readers both young and old. As we delve into this charming piece by John Hassall, we are reminded that art has always been a powerful medium for capturing moments from our past – even those as seemingly ordinary as an unhappy child at their front door.
