EDITORS COMMENTS
Cecil Aldin's captivating illustration, "The Wild Horses of Iceland," transports us to a bleak yet beautiful farmstead in Iceland during the 1930s. In the foreground, a little red dog named Snardi boldly confronts his enemies, two menacing ravens, perched atop a stone wall. The farm landscape, with its barren, rocky terrain and rolling hills, sets the stage for this intriguing encounter. Snardi, with his bright red coat and determined expression, barks and jumps up at the ravens, attempting to protect his home and territory. The ravens, with their ominous shadows and beady eyes, seem unfazed by the small canine's efforts. The contrast between the fierce loyalty and bravery of the little red dog and the indifference of the ravens creates a sense of conflict and tension in the image. This illustration, created by renowned English artist Cecil Aldin in 1933, is a testament to the rich history and unique character of Icelandic farming life during the 1930s. The Wild Horses of Iceland is just one of many captivating images from Aldin's extensive body of work, which showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the essence of animals and their relationships with their human counterparts. The illustration, with its vivid colors and intricate details, invites us to imagine the stories behind the scene and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of rural life in Iceland during the 1930s.
