1879 Cabbage Cabbages Cheeky Fence Goblin Greenaway Kate Naughty Steal Stealing Theft Thief Vege Table Vegetables
EDITORS COMMENTS
A mischievous little goblin, with a round belly and a sly grin, is caught in the act of stealing cabbages from a unsuspecting farmer's vegetable field in this charming Victorian-era illustration. The goblin's plump figure and roguish expression add to the playful and light-hearted atmosphere of the scene, as he reaches over a rustic fence to pluck the ripe cabbages from their stalks. The farmer, with a look of shock and disbelief, turns to see the intruder, his hand protectively hovering over his hatchet. A curious cow peeks over the fence, seemingly amused by the goblin's antics. The lush green field, dotted with cabbages and other vegetables, stretches out behind them, adding to the idyllic setting. This delightful illustration, published in 1879, is a charming reminder of the whimsical and imaginative stories that captured the hearts of children during the 1870s. The illustration, which is part of the Kate Greenaway collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a timeless piece that continues to delight and inspire, inviting us to imagine a world where goblins and other magical creatures roam the countryside.
