Cigarette Copes Ellam Models Swings
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Swings" by English artist William Henry Ellam, is taken from a series of toy model cigarette cards produced circa 1930. The scene depicts a lively country fair, with the focus on a group of children enjoying the simple pleasure of riding on swings. The swings are suspended from sturdy wooden beams, their seats painted in bright primary colors. The children's faces are filled with delight and excitement, their laughter echoing through the fairground. In the background, the bustling activity of the country fair continues. Colorful tents and booths line the edges of the frame, while people mill about, some watching the children on the swings, others engaged in their own amusements. The atmosphere is one of joy and community, a time when people came together to celebrate and create memories. William Henry Ellam was a prolific artist, known for his illustrations of toys and children. His work for the cigarette card series, "Copes Toy Models (The Country Fair)," showcased his ability to capture the essence of childhood and the charm of traditional fairs. This particular image, with its vibrant colors and lively energy, remains a beloved piece of nostalgia and a reminder of simpler times.
