1879 Brick Expecting Faces Greenaway Kate Occasion Special Waiting
Eight Faces Looking Over a Wall
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and enchanting Victorian-era illustration, first published in 1879, depicting eight curious faces peering intently over a high brick wall. The anticipation and excitement in their expressions suggest that they are eagerly awaiting the arrival of a special occasion, perhaps the passing by of their beloved monarch and monarch consort. The illustration, published by the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of the 1870s with its intricate details and rich colors. The wall, adorned with ivy and other climbing plants, provides a natural frame for the eight faces, each with unique features and expressions that add to the overall charm of the image. The children among the group add an element of innocence and wonder, while the adults display a sense of reverence and respect. The window in the background, with its delicate curtains billowing in the breeze, hints at the comfort and warmth of the interior, a stark contrast to the cool, brick exterior. The illustration, created by the renowned artist Kate Greenaway, is a beautiful representation of the Victorian era's fascination with royalty and special occasions. The eight faces, each with their own story to tell, invite us to imagine the excitement and wonder they must feel as they wait for the king and queen to pass by. This timeless illustration continues to captivate and inspire, transporting us back to a bygone era of elegance and enchantment.
