EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting and quintessentially Victorian sketch, entitled "My little airy spirit see! Sits in a foggy cloud and waits for me!", was created by the Reverend Baden Powell (1796-1860), the father of the renowned founder of the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell. The delightful illustration depicts a witch, perched atop a foggy cloud, surrounded by her mischievous goblin companions. The Reverend Powell's deft brushwork brings to life the comic and ugly creatures, with their pointed hats, wings, and tails, as they frolic in the supernatural realm. The witch, with her broomstick and wizened features, gazes intently into the distance, as if in anticipation of the arrival of her companion spirit. The verse beneath the sketch adds an extra layer of whimsy and humor to the scene, further emphasizing the playful and lighthearted nature of this charming work of art. The ink drawing, which dates from the mid-19th century, is a testament to the Rev. Powell's artistic talent and his ability to capture the imagination and wonder of the Victorian era.
