EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the simple joys of childhood in the 1920s, as depicted in a series of sketches featuring children and a donkey. In the center, a young girl reaches out to feed a brown donkey from a nosebag, her expression one of pure delight and concentration. Surrounding her are other children, some laughing and playing, while others watch with curiosity. The scene is rendered in ink and wash, with the sepia tones adding to the nostalgic and historical feel. The image, dated 1922, is the work of artist Muriel Dawson, who skillfully captured the essence of childhood and the bond between children and animals. The donkey, with its gentle expression and patient demeanor, seems to understand the children's playful antics and offers them a moment of connection and companionship. This charming sketch is a reminder of a simpler time, when the pleasures of childhood were found in the simple things - a donkey, a nosebag, and the company of friends. It invites us to reflect on the enduring power of childhood memories and the joy that animals can bring to our lives.
