EDITORS COMMENTS
In this colour litho print by Archibald Bertram Webb, we witness a moment of tension and intrigue. The scene unfolds in the English countryside, where a man finds himself retreating from an encounter with ruffians. His uncomfortable laugh betrays his unease as his eyes remain fixed upon a dog nearby. This illustration was originally created for The Empire Annual for Boys in 1905, showcasing the thrilling adventures that awaited young readers. It transports us to a time when stories of crime and excitement captivated the imaginations of schoolboys across England. The man's large stature is evident as he holds onto his walking stick or cane tightly, perhaps ready to defend himself if necessary. Meanwhile, the dog stands faithfully by his side, its presence adding an air of mystery to the narrative. As we gaze at this image captured by Webb's skilled hand, we are reminded of the power that art has in evoking emotions and sparking our imagination. We can almost hear the whispers of this untold story unfolding before our eyes – one filled with danger and suspense. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into a world where adventure awaits at every turn. It serves as a reminder that even in stillness, art has the ability to transport us into thrilling tales beyond our wildest dreams.
