EDITORS COMMENTS
Cecil Aldin's enchanting illustration, "Two Simple Tales for Simple Folks," published in 1904, captures the playful spirit of childhood in this delightful scene from the story "Cock-a-Doodle-Do, My Dame Has Lost Her Shoe." In the image, a woman in an Edwardian-era dress and apron is shown in a lively chase through a farmyard, her arms outstretched as she calls out to her wayward dog, who has made off with her shoe. The mischievous canine, with a smug expression on its face, has already made its way to the roof of a nearby henhouse, where it perches triumphantly, the woman's shoe clutched in its jaws. The miniature pocket book, filled with "Two Simple Tales for Simple Folks," was a popular nursery favorite of the early 1900s. The illustrations, with their charming detail and gentle humor, transported young readers to a world of simple pleasures and everyday adventures. In this scene, Aldin masterfully conveys the sense of fun and mischief that often accompanies the bond between children and their pets. The illustration is set in a quintessential farmyard scene, with a garden in the foreground, a henhouse and barn in the background, and a sunlit sky overhead. The use of warm colors and intricate details adds to the whimsical atmosphere, making this a beloved and enduring image from the Edwardian era.
