EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Battle of the Pygmies and the Storks" takes us back to a time when nature's forces clashed in an epic confrontation. Illustrated by Arthur Twidle, this image comes from the renowned book "Wonders of Land and Sea" published in London in 1914. In this vibrant color lithograph, we witness an intense clash between two worlds - that of the African pygmies and their agricultural endeavors, and the storks who seek to steal their precious crops. Armed with bows and arrows, these tribal warriors stand tall against the towering birds, determined to protect what is rightfully theirs. The composition exudes tension as both sides confront each other head-on. The pygmies' fierce expressions reveal their determination while shooting arrows into the sky, scaring off any potential threat. Meanwhile, the storks appear relentless in their pursuit of food as they swoop down menacingly towards the fields. This illustration beautifully captures not only a battle for survival but also highlights humanity's ongoing struggle against nature's unpredictable elements. It serves as a reminder that even on a small scale like this conflict between pygmies and storks, protecting one's livelihood can demand great courage and resilience. Preserved within private collections today, this children's illustration continues to captivate viewers with its vivid depiction of agriculture intertwined with tribal warfare – a testament to Twidle's artistic prowess and his ability to bring stories alive through his brushstrokes.
