EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and whimsical print titled "Pity the poor duckling!", artist John Hassall captures a heartwarming moment from one of Blackie's Popular Nursery Stories. The illustration, created in vibrant colour litho, showcases the timeless tale of "The Ugly Duckling" that has captivated children for generations. As we gaze upon the image, our hearts go out to the adorable little duckling who appears lost and alone. With its downcast eyes and hunched posture, it evokes a sense of vulnerability that tugs at our emotions. We can't help but feel sympathy for this innocent creature as it navigates through life's challenges. Hassall's artistic prowess shines through in his attention to detail and use of vivid colours. Every feather is meticulously rendered, adding depth and texture to the scene. The soft hues create a soothing atmosphere while also highlighting the duckling's isolation. This print serves as a reminder of how powerful storytelling can be in teaching valuable lessons about empathy and acceptance to young minds. It encourages us all to look beyond appearances and embrace kindness towards others who may seem different or misunderstood. "Pity the poor duckling!" invites us into a world where imagination meets reality, reminding both children and adults alike that compassion knows no bounds.
