EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Magnetic Fishes" takes us back to the 19th century when toys were simple yet enchanting. The illustration, created by an English School artist, was originally featured in Cassells Family Magazine in 1880. The image showcases a delightful parlour game that brings together magnetism and playfulness. A young player is seen holding a magnetic fishing rod while trying to catch the beautifully illustrated fish floating above. The intricate details of each fish highlight the skill of the engraver who brought this scene to life. During this era, such games provided entertainment for families and friends gathered around in cozy parlours. The toy's magnetic feature added an element of surprise as players attempted to hook their desired fish with precision. This print transports us into a world where plush animals were not only cherished companions but also subjects of amusement. It reminds us of simpler times when children found joy in imaginative play rather than digital distractions. With its historical significance and artistic charm, "Magnetic Fishes" serves as a window into the past – reminding us of the timeless appeal of traditional games and toys that have captivated generations throughout history.
