EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from the 1930s, a determined and somewhat hapless figure named Dunderpate is shown in hot pursuit of a wise and sturdy farmer, both of whom are engaged in their respective activities. The farmer, dressed in workman's clothes and wearing a broad-brimmed hat, is jogging along the countryside path on his robust mare. His lean and muscular physique exudes an air of confidence and competence, as he expertly manages the reins with one hand and clutches a book in the other. Meanwhile, Dunderpate, a boy with a mischievous grin and disheveled hair, rides his horse, a dun mare, at a gallop. With a look of intense concentration and excitement, he shouts out questions to the farmer, seeking his advice on various matters. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, bathing the rolling hills and the two riders in a beautiful, golden light. The boys, who are also present in the scene, watch the spectacle with wide-eyed curiosity and amusement. They are dressed in typical 1930s attire, with short pants, suspenders, and caps. The scene is reminiscent of a simpler time, where the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom was a cherished and communal endeavor. This charming illustration, dated 1938, captures the essence of rural life in the 1930s and the enduring appeal of learning from the experiences of those who have come before us. It is a testament to the power of curiosity, the importance of education, and the timeless bond between horses and their riders.
