EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A horse that won't 'gee up!'" showcases the humorous side of equestrian life in the 19th century. The artwork, created by an English School artist, captures a delightful scene from Aunt Friendly's book of amusement for young readers. In this whimsical illustration, we witness a stubborn horse refusing to move forward despite its rider's best efforts. The comical expression on both the horse and rider's faces adds to the charm of this print. It is evident that even our equine friends can have their moments of defiance! The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, highlighting the skill and craftsmanship of the engraver. Every stroke brings out the textures and features of not only the main characters but also other animals present in the background, such as ponies and shire horses. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork offers us a glimpse into rural life during that era. It reminds us of how integral horses were to transportation, farming, and leisure activities like racing. Displayed within private collections today, this enchanting print continues to educate viewers about history while evoking smiles with its lighthearted narrative. Its enduring popularity speaks volumes about its ability to captivate audiences across generations.
