EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Sky-Rocket" by Walter Besant, transports us back to the enchanting world of literary illustrations in the late 19th century. The print captures a moment of wonder and excitement as Cyril, the main character from Besant's novel, gazes up at a magnificent sky rocket illuminating the night sky. Created by Robert Sauber, this exquisite piece was originally published in The Illustrated London News' Christmas Number in 1897. Sauber's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this scene to life - from Cyril's wide-eyed expression to the intricate patterns on his clothing. "The Sky-Rocket" exemplifies the power of visual storytelling through its ability to transport viewers into another realm. As we admire this print today, it serves as a reminder of how literature and art have always been intertwined mediums that ignite our imagination. Housed within a private collection, this rare lithograph showcases not only Besant's literary genius but also Sauber's skillful engraving technique. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection further solidifies its significance as an iconic piece of historical artwork. Let "The Sky-Rocket" take you on a journey through time and space with its timeless beauty and evocative imagery that continues to captivate audiences even over a century later.
