EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Brother and Sister" transports us to a world of enchanting storytelling. The illustration, taken from the renowned book "Baby's Own Aesop" was skillfully engraved and printed by Edmund Evans in London around 1920. Created by Walter Crane, a celebrated artist of his time, this colour lithograph is now part of a private collection. The image depicts two young siblings, a boy and a girl, engaged in an educational moment with their father. As they sit together reading, we are reminded of the timeless moral tales found within Aesop's Fables. The contrast between the brother and sister is striking; while the boy exudes confidence and vanity due to his handsome appearance, the girl appears plain yet possesses inner beauty that shines through her actions. This heartwarming scene captures not only the bond between siblings but also emphasizes the importance of character over physical attributes. It serves as a reminder that true beauty lies in one's deeds rather than superficial appearances. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back to an era where children were taught valuable life lessons through engaging illustrations like these. Let us cherish this exquisite piece as it continues to inspire generations with its profound message about morality and family values.
