EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the enchanting world of "The Water Babies" by Charles Kingsley. The image showcases Tom, the run-away chimney sweeps boy who embarks on a remarkable journey after falling into the river and transforming into a Water Baby. Here, we witness an intriguing moment as Tom is being examined by two prominent figures of their time: Richard Owen and Thomas Henry Huxley. On the left stands Richard Owen, known for his opposition to Darwinism, while Thomas Henry Huxley stands beside him - famously referred to as "Darwin's bulldog" due to his unwavering support for Darwin's theories. Illustrated with meticulous detail by Linley Sambourne in 1885, this scene captures the essence of both adventure and intellectual curiosity that permeates throughout Kingsley's timeless work. Originally published in 1863, "The Water Babies" has become a beloved piece of English literature cherished by readers young and old. This photograph print from Universal Images Group (UIG) allows us to delve deeper into the fantastical world created by Kingsley. It serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with fiction but also highlights how literature can spark debates and discussions among scholars like Owen and Huxley. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power that stories hold - transporting us beyond reality while simultaneously provoking thought and contemplation about our own existence.
