EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "K the Knavish, 1903" by John Hassall takes us back to early 20th century Britain. The image is an initial letter 'K' from a child's alphabet book called "An A. B. C. of Everyday People" by G. E. Farrow, published by Dean & Son Limited in London. In this peculiar scene, we see a grey-suited man named K engaging in some suspicious activity on a bustling street corner. With his mischievous grin and swift pace, he appears to be running away from something or someone, evoking a sense of intrigue and mystery. The artwork skillfully combines elements of humor and crime as it portrays K as a quirky character involved in dishonest deeds. This whimsical portrayal adds an interesting twist to our perception of daily life during that era. Hassall's use of color brings vibrancy to the otherwise ordinary setting, capturing the essence of British streets at that time. The attention to detail in depicting the architecture and fashion further immerses us into this historical moment. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into the rich literary and artistic heritage of early 20th century Britain while showcasing Hassall's talent for creating captivating visual narratives within children's books like "An A. B. C. of Everyday People. "
