EDITORS COMMENTS
Pug Peter and the Extraordinary High Jump: A Delightful Edwardian Tableau of a Rabbit Riding a Kangaroo, Leaping Over a Telegraph Wire (1905) Step into the magical world of Edwardian children's literature and meet Pug Peter, a charming rabbit character created by renowned author Edith Nesbit. In this image, Pug Peter is depicted in a dapper riding costume, perched confidently on the back of a powerful kangaroo. Together, they make an unlikely yet enchanting duo, poised for an extraordinary feat. The backdrop of this whimsical scene is a vast, open landscape, dotted with tall, slender telegraph wires. With a determined look in his eyes, Pug Peter urges the kangaroo forward, and they leap high into the air, effortlessly clearing the wires. The wind ruffles the rabbit's ears, and the sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, creating a sense of adventure and excitement. This photograph, taken in 1905, is a testament to the imaginative and playful spirit of Edwardian children's literature. The intriguing juxtaposition of a rabbit and a kangaroo, two creatures from different continents, highlights the boundless possibilities of the imagination. The image invites us to embark on a journey of wonder and discovery, as we join Pug Peter and his newfound friend in their high-flying adventure. Edith Nesbit's Pug Peter stories, which also featured his sister, Beatrice, and their adventures with talking animals, were a beloved part of children's literature during the early 20th century. This photograph, with its delightful blend of reality and fantasy, offers a glimpse into the magical world that Nesbit created for her young readers, a world where the impossible becomes possible and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
