The Adventures of Nicholas
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that transports viewers to a world filled with welcomed joy and playful mischief. The scene depicts an enchanting window where our protagonist, Nicholas, finds himself surrounded by a chorus of cheerful birds. His footprints on the windowsill suggest he has just returned from some thrilling escapade. Nicholas, represented as an orphaned cat with an old soul, runs freely through the countryside in pursuit of his next adventure. With his mischievous nature and curious spirit, he sallies into every opportunity that comes his way. In this particular moment captured by Alfred Chantrey Corbould's masterful hand, Nicholas stands tall in front of a copse while observing the majestic flight of harriers. Despite his small stature, Nicholas carries himself with great interest and polite manners. He loves nothing more than to explore the hills and bring back tales of his encounters to share over morning tea in the company of an extremely kind lady who has taken him under her wing. This true story unfolds as we witness Nicholas' foster family constantly honouring him with affection and respect. Their bond grows stronger each day as they exchange love and care for one another. On occasion, however, trouble finds its way into their lives - be it disrespectful dogs or local cats seeking revenge for past encounters. Yet through it all, Nicholas perseveres with resilience and determination. He seeks out new haunts and joins parties where he can showcase his excellent hunting skills while maintaining good terms within society. "The Adventures of Nicholas" is not just about one cat's journey; it represents the universal longing for freedom and prosperity that resides within us all - no matter our species or age. This print serves as a reminder that even when bound by imprisonment or offended by poisoned relationships, there is always hope for redemption if we embrace life's challenges head-on. Let this engraving transport you back to your own childhood days when innocence was your guide and the world was full of stealthy suggestions waiting to be consulted.
