EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and amusing colour lithograph titled "But supposing the Stork has a sick headache?", artist John Hassall takes us on a comical journey through the animal kingdom. The print, part of a private collection, captures the essence of humour as it depicts several animals in an entertaining scenario. The focal point of the artwork is undoubtedly the stork with its long legs and distinctive beak. However, instead of gracefully delivering babies as folklore suggests, this particular stork appears to be suffering from a sick headache. Its pained expression adds to the overall hilarity of the scene. Surrounding our unfortunate avian friend are various other wildlife creatures including birds and fowls that seem equally amused by their feathered companion's predicament. The vibrant colours used by Hassall bring life to each character, enhancing their individual personalities. This delightful illustration was originally created for Walter Emanuel's book "The Zoo" published in 1904. It perfectly captures both the charm and absurdity found within zoological gardens where animals often surprise visitors with unexpected behaviors or appearances. "But supposing the Stork has a sick headache?" is not only visually captivating but also serves as a reminder that even in nature, things don't always go according to plan. This light-hearted piece will surely bring joy and laughter to anyone who appreciates humorous art depicting wildlife antics.
