Friendly Invaders
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Ethel Parkinson (1912) This charming and evocative print by English artist Ethel Parkinson, created in 1912, captures the innocence and curiosity of childhood as it intrudes upon the natural world. Entitled "Friendly Invaders," the image features a boy and a girl, both dressed in their Sunday best, as they approach the habitat of a family of red squirrels. The children's expressions are filled with wonder and excitement as they peer into the squirrels' nest, seemingly unaware of the potential disruption they may cause. The red squirrels, however, are not as welcoming. One squirrel bares its teeth in a defensive posture, while another looks on with a wary eye. The third squirrel seems to be gathering its belongings, preparing to flee. The lush greenery and intricate details of the tree bark and squirrels' fur add depth and texture to this delightful scene. Ethel Parkinson's use of warm colors and gentle shading creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere, inviting the viewer to step into the world of the print. The children's innocent curiosity and the squirrels' protective instincts serve as a reminder of the delicate balance between human interaction and the natural world. This beautiful print, with its timeless appeal, is a testament to Ethel Parkinson's talent as an artist and her ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. It invites us to reflect on the relationship between humans and nature and the importance of respecting the habitats of the creatures that share our world.
