"The Wanderer", by J. Clark, 1862. Engraving of a painting....absorbed with her little pet kitten, and perhaps led astray by its gambols and friskings, she has, like "a naughty little puss" herself, wandered from her village home into the neighbouring thicket till, sitting down quite tired out, and looking around, she begins to find that everything is strange and unfamiliar! In her vague sense of being helpless and unprotected she hugs her little playmate, and makes it nestle more closely in her lap; and she must, perforce, begin to whimper herself, though she as yet hardly knows why. But "what great lady and gentleman, so unlike father and mother, are these"? says Miss Toddlekins to herself, as with awe and shyness she has recourse to the fore-finger familiar to her under such circumstances. A shadowy consciousness of doing wrong seems to be brought to her mind by such wondrous visitants. And what charming studies of character are this father and daughter, going perhaps to, or coming from, church! If one could not see her amiable face, you could tell that the daughter is a sweet, unaffected, good-natured girl, from the frank way in which she goes down to question the little wanderer regardless of the consequences to her dress'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

The Wanderer
EDITORS COMMENTS
by J. Clark, an engraving of a painting from 1862, captures a moment of innocence and fear in the life of a young girl. The scene depicts the girl, named Miss Toddlekins, lost in a thicket, far from her village home. Absorbed in her play with her pet kitten, she has wandered off unnoticed, and now finds herself in unfamiliar surroundings. Miss Toddlekins sits tired and bewildered on the forest floor, her kitten nestled in her lap. She looks around in awe and shyness, her small fingers exploring her mouth in a gesture of uncertainty. The strange and mysterious figures of a great lady and gentleman approach, and the young girl's curiosity and fear mingle in her heart. She wonders at their appearance and begins to feel a sense of wrongdoing, perhaps sensing that she should not be in this place. The father and daughter, who appear to be on their way to or from church, are depicted with charming studies of character. The daughter's face is open and unaffected, her good-natured expression a stark contrast to the unknown dangers of the forest. The father's protective gaze is fixed on his daughter, his calm demeanor a source of comfort to the young girl. This enchanting scene from the Illustrated London News of 1862 invites us to reflect on the innocence of childhood and the mysteries of the world around us. The unknown artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, transporting us to a simpler time and place. The Wanderer remains a timeless reminder of the joys and fears of childhood, and the comforting presence of loved ones in times of uncertainty.
