EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting cut-out silhouette illustration is an original artwork created by Iris Chick for her fantasy bedtime stories titled 'The Gummys.' Dating back to circa 1937, this image transports us to a magical world where a mother reads to her little boy, surrounded by a cast of whimsical characters. The boy, with his wide-eyed wonder, sits on the edge of his bed, engrossed in the tales spun by his mother. Around them, a red goose, a yellow hobby horse, a black jack, and a jill with a pail and a candle add to the enchanting scene. The water pail and candle cast a warm, gentle glow, while the stars twinkle in the night sky above, adding to the dreamlike atmosphere. The use of cut-out silhouettes against a plain background enhances the visual appeal and creates a sense of depth and dimension. Iris Chick's illustrations for 'The Gummys' were a beloved hobby of the artist, who expertly combined the traditional art form of silhouette cutting with the imaginative storytelling of bedtime tales. This original artwork is a beautiful representation of the close bond between a mother and her child, and the power of imagination and storytelling to transport us to far-off lands and magical realms. This image is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of 'The Gummys' and the enchanting bedtime stories that were shared between Iris Chick and her young audience in the 1930s.
