EDITORS COMMENTS
Granpop, the lovable and mischievous orang-utan created by renowned British illustrator Lawson Wood, is seen in this humorous 1934 illustration titled "Granpop Tests the Swimming Pool Water." In the playful scene, Granpop dons a striped bathing suit and holds a teacup filled with pool water, deep in concentration as he takes a cautious sip. His animal friends, a pig and a few other anthropomorphic creatures, eagerly await the results of Granpop's water test at the makeshift springboard, their excited expressions suggesting that they're ready to launch themselves into the pool for a refreshing dive. However, the look on Granpop's face suggests that the water might not be up to their standards, and the potential for a splashy mishap hangs in the air. With its charming depiction of anthropomorphic animals engaging in a lighthearted swimming pool scene, this illustration is a delightful reminder of the simple joys of summer and the camaraderie of friends. Wood's masterful use of humor and detail in his illustrations continues to captivate audiences, making this a must-have addition to any collection of vintage art.
