Billy and Dolly at the fair
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful print capturing the joyous moments of two children, accompanied by their beloved elephant friend, Fido. Created by Walter Crane in 1923 for the Wonderland Annual, this illustration transports us to a time when fairs were filled with excitement and wonder. In this enchanting scene, Billy and Dolly are seen enjoying themselves amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the fair. Billy's skillful aim wins him three coconuts as prizes. Generously, he shares one coconut each with Dolly and Fido. The man running the game encourages them to roll, bowl or pitch their coconuts to knock down targets. With determination in his eyes, Billy sends them flying through the air and successfully knocks them down. Crane's attention to detail brings life to every element of this artwork - from the expressions on Billy and Dolly's faces reflecting pure delight to Fido eagerly awaiting his treat. The artist's mastery shines through in his ability to capture not only human emotions but also depict animals with such realism. This print serves as a reminder of simpler times when children found immense joy in simple pleasures like attending fairs alongside their loyal animal companions. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for an era where innocence thrived and imaginations ran wild. "Billy and Dolly at the fair" is truly a timeless piece that encapsulates both childhood exuberance and our enduring fascination with wildlife - all beautifully rendered by Walter Crane's artistic prowess.
