"Water Babies: A Magical World of Wonder and Adventure" In the enchanting realm of water babies, a world filled with whimsy and delight, they gather together to celebrate life's simple joys. They put him in the middle and danced around him, their laughter echoing through the sparkling waters. From The Water Babies pub. by Humphrey Milford Oxford University Press, c. 1930 (colour litho), we catch a glimpse of their mirthful revelry. Tom sat upon the buoy long days in 1916, his eyes wide with wonder as he observed these ethereal beings frolicking beneath the waves. Mesmerized by their beauty, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh don't hurt me. I only want to look at you; you are so handsome. " This illustration for The Water Babies by Reverend Charles Kingsley (colour litho) captures Tom's innocent fascination. A Victorian Christmas card transports us back to a bygone era where four water babies find solace inside a Ramrose Murex sea shell amidst coral wonders. Painted by Gertude Thompson in c. 1895 (colour litho), it evokes nostalgia for simpler times when nature's treasures were cherished. Another Victorian greeting card reveals two water babies perched on a piece of rope while snails crawl nearby against a golden backdrop created by Gertude Thompson in c. 1895 (colour litho). It reminds us that even small creatures can bring joy and companionship. Imagination takes flight as we encounter naked babies riding snails escorted by wasps on yet another Victorian Christmas card from c. 1895 (colour litho). Against a resplendent gold background, this scene invites us into an extraordinary world where anything is possible. Mrs Bedoneasyoudid emerges from an illustration in The Water Babies by Reverend Charles Kingsley (colour litho), embodying kindness and compassion towards all.
