EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Skippers" takes us back to the 19th century with its nostalgic charm. The print showcases a scene from the book "Keepsake for the Young, A Book of Amusement" by Aunt Friendly, published by Frederick Warne around 1880. The illustration depicts a group of skippers, young boys who were known for their agility and skill in skipping rope. These energetic youngsters are captured mid-jump, showcasing their impressive coordination and dexterity. Their faces beam with joy as they engage in this timeless childhood game. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraver's hand. The intricate lines bring life to each skipper's figure while also capturing the texture of their clothing and the movement of the ropes. This meticulous craftsmanship adds depth and dimension to an otherwise simple scene. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported back to an era where children found delight in simple pleasures like skipping rope. It serves as a reminder that amidst our fast-paced modern lives, there is beauty in embracing moments of innocence and playfulness. This educational artwork offers us a glimpse into history while simultaneously evoking feelings of nostalgia and wonderment. It reminds us that even within art prints lies a wealth of knowledge waiting to be discovered.
