EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Bunnyborough, a charming 1920s town inhabited by humanised rabbits, as depicted in this enchanting endpaper design by renowned English illustrator Cecil Aldin. The image transports us to a quaint street scene, where the pompous Mr. Swizzle, a beadle dressed in an orange coat, strides confidently, his wife, Mrs. Swizzle, a shopkeeper in a white apron, looks on from their thatched cottage. Oranges, a symbol of prosperity, hang from the trees, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. The magic of this illustration lies in its ability to blur the lines between humans and animals, creating a delightful and imaginative universe. Mr. Swizzle's pomposity is evident in his stern expression and upright posture, while Mrs. Swizzle exudes warmth and welcoming energy. The rabbit inhabitants of Bunnyborough go about their daily lives, adding to the bustling energy of the scene. This endpaper design, created in 1921, is a beautiful example of the illustrative style of the 1920s. The grey tones and intricate details bring the image to life, transporting us to a time when magic and wonder were a part of everyday life. The endpaper design is a testament to the rich history and historical significance of the illustrated book, making it a must-have for any collector of vintage illustrations or 1920s memorabilia.
