EDITORS COMMENTS
The enchanting illustration, 'The Rocking-Horse Would Run Away,' by Minnie Asprey, transports us back to the magical world of childhood in the 1910s. This work of art, created circa 1918, is a visual interpretation of the classic nursery rhyme that has delighted generations of children. Minnie Asprey, a talented British illustrator, masterfully brings the verses to life through her imaginative use of color and whimsical detail. In the illustration, a young child, filled with excitement and wonder, clings to the back of a rocking horse that seems to be coming alive before their very eyes. The horse's ears prick up, its eyes sparkle with mischief, and its hooves are poised to gallop away. The child's expression is one of pure joy and anticipation, as they imagine the thrill of a wild ride. The vibrant hues of red, blue, and green create a sense of energy and movement, while the intricate patterns and textures add depth and dimension to the scene. The background features a charming collection of toys, each one inviting the viewer to explore further and lose themselves in the magic of the moment. 'The Rocking-Horse Would Run Away' is more than just a beautiful work of art; it's a window into a time when the simple joys of childhood were enough to captivate the imagination and transport us to a world of excitement and adventure. This timeless illustration continues to inspire and delight, reminding us of the power of imagination and the magic that can be found in the most ordinary of things.
