EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Stilts" takes us back to the 19th century Victorian era, where childhood games were filled with wonder and imagination. The image showcases a group of children joyfully playing on stilts, their faces beaming with excitement and mischief. The artist from the English School beautifully captures the essence of youthful innocence and adventure in this print. Each detail is meticulously etched, bringing life to every line and stroke. It's as if we can almost hear the laughter echoing through time. This particular engraving was featured in "An Illustrated Vocabulary For The Use Of The Deaf And Dumb" published by SPCK in 1857. Its inclusion in this educational publication highlights how stilts were not only a source of amusement but also served as a tool for communication and learning. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork, we are transported to an era when simple pleasures brought immense joy. Stilts allowed these children to see the world from a different perspective – literally and metaphorically – enabling them to explore new heights while fostering balance, coordination, and camaraderie. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have the privilege of admiring this historical gem that encapsulates both artistic skill and cultural significance. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements today, there is still magic in embracing traditional forms of play that ignite our imaginations and connect us with our past.
