EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming coloured engraving captures a delightful scene of childhood play and imagination. The image depicts a young girl and boy, the latter dressed up as a soldier, in an enchanting display of make-believe. The print is believed to be from the 19th century and is part of a private collection. The verse accompanying the illustration is taken from William Shenstone's poem "Ode to Memory" adding an element of literary beauty to this visual artwork. It comes from a publication titled "The Fields and Woodlands Depicted by Painter and Poet" published by Ward, Lock and Co in London and New York around 1873. The children's playful innocence shines through their expressive faces as they engage in this imaginative game. The girl looks on with curiosity while her companion proudly dons his soldier attire, complete with hat and sword. This print not only showcases the joyous spirit of childhood but also provides insight into British culture during that era. It serves as a reminder of how dressing up has long been cherished by children across different generations. Bridgeman Images presents this evocative piece from their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing viewers to appreciate the artistic representation of youthful exuberance captured within its frame.
