EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece illustration, dated 1930, depicts the charming scene of a young boy named Robin atop an Exmoor pony named Jerry. The image is taken from the pages of an old book, likely a children's story or adventure tale set in the picturesque countryside of Devon, England during the 1930s. The Exmoor pony, a breed known for its sturdy build and distinctive curved profile, appears strong and agile as it carries Robin effortlessly through the grassy landscape. Robin, dressed in a red sweater and shorts, wears a bowler hat perched atop his head, adding a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to the scene. The boy's joyful expression and Jerry's alert ears suggest a bond of trust and companionship between the two. In the background, the rolling hills and craggy rocks of the Devon countryside stretch out, providing a breathtaking backdrop to the idyllic moment. The illustration, created by an unknown artist during the 1930s, captures the essence of a simpler time when children could explore the great outdoors on the backs of their faithful ponies. This image not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the history and traditions of rural England during the early 20th century.
