EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting pencil drawing captures the innocence and tranquility of Francis Smyth Powell, the youngest son of the Reverend Baden Powell and his third wife Henrietta, as he peacefully sleeps at the tender age of nine months. The portrait was skillfully created by the talented German artist Carl Hartmann in April 1851. Francis, who was born on the 30th of April 1851, was one of the many children of the Reverend Powell, the renowned founder of the Scout Movement. The family photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the Powell family during the Victorian era. Carl Hartmann, who was born in 1818, was a gifted artist known for his detailed and expressive drawings of children. His artistry is evident in this image of Francis, which beautifully conveys the warmth and tenderness of a young child in repose. As the youngest son of the Reverend Powell, Francis would grow up surrounded by the values of faith, family, and service that his father instilled in his children. Although he did not follow in his father's footsteps and become a leader in the Scout Movement, Francis' early years were undoubtedly shaped by the same spirit of adventure and exploration that would come to define the Scouting movement. This exquisite drawing serves as a poignant reminder of the simple joys of childhood and the enduring bond between a father and his young son. It is a testament to the artistry of Carl Hartmann and the legacy of the Powell family, who continue to inspire generations with their stories of faith, family, and service.
