EDITORS COMMENTS
Pug Peter, the beloved bear character created by renowned Edwardian children's author Edith Nesbit, is seen in this charming 1905 illustration engaging in a playful activity. The image captures Pug Peter as he gathers fallen oranges from under a laden tree in a sunlit field. The oranges, ripe and golden, are intended for use in a cricket match, a classic English pastime. Pug Peter, a character from Nesbit's popular children's book "The Wouldbegoods," is known for his mischievous yet endearing nature. In this scene, he embodies the spirit of fun and excitement that comes with the simple pleasure of a cricket match. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, where children spent their days exploring nature and engaging in innocent games. The illustration, created in 1905, is a beautiful representation of the Edwardian period, with its attention to detail and naturalistic style. The use of warm colors and soft lighting adds to the idyllic atmosphere, making this a treasured piece for any collector of children's literature or historical art. This image is a reminder of the enduring appeal of Pug Peter and the stories that brought him to life. It invites us to imagine the adventures of this beloved bear character and the joy he brought to children over a century ago.
