EDITORS COMMENTS
Pug Peter's Triumphal March of the Mice" is a delightful and whimsical illustration from the Edwardian era, dating back to 1905. This charming print depicts a small Pug dog named Peter, proudly seated atop a wooden horse, which is being pulled along by a team of determined mice. The green wooden horse, adorned with intricately carved wheels, serves as a hobbyhorse or toy for the playful canine. The scene is reminiscent of a triumphal march, with Peter, the regal Pug, leading the way, as the mice, with their tiny paws on the reins, pull the horse with great effort. The expression on Peter's face suggests amusement and enjoyment, while the mice seem focused and determined in their task. This illustration is taken from a children's story written by Edith Nesbit, a renowned English author, and is a testament to the imaginative and magical world of literature from the early 20th century. The print, with its intricate details and lively characters, transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the enchantment and delight that children's stories of yesteryears offered. The illustration is a beautiful example of the artistic talent and creativity that flourished during the Edwardian era. It is a timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the power of imagination and the joy of a good story.
