EDITORS COMMENTS
Cecil Aldin's Endpapers: A Delightful Menagerie of Characters from 'Humpty and Dumpty's Adventures' (1912) This charming endpaper design by renowned English illustrator Cecil Aldin showcases a lively and endearing collection of animals from his beloved book 'Humpty and Dumpty: Their Adventures, Told by May Byron.' Dated 1912, this grey-toned illustration features an array of delightful creatures that once graced the beginning and end pages of this classic children's book. Master Quack, the mischievous duck, proudly rides atop a patient tortoise, while Forager and Rags, the playful dogs, frolic around them. Rufus the cat, with his inquisitive expression, observes the scene from a nearby tree. Hungry Peter the Pig, with a gleeful look on his face, eagerly digs into a pot filled with food, while Humpty and Dumpty, the adorable rabbit brothers, peek out from behind a dish, ready for their next adventure. The captivating illustrations in 'Humpty and Dumpty's Adventures' were a staple of early 20th-century children's literature, and this endpaper design perfectly encapsulates the whimsy and delight that readers have come to expect from Cecil Aldin. With their expressive faces and charming personalities, these animals continue to captivate and entertain children and adults alike, making this endpaper design a cherished piece of literary history.
