EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Boys picking apples" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of youthful joy and mischief. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a scene from Banbury Chap Books illustrated by Arthur Reader in 1890. In this delightful image, we see a group of schoolboys eagerly climbing a tall apple tree. Their mischievous grins reveal their intentions - to pluck the ripest apples within reach. With nimble hands and infectious laughter, they engage in this playful act of theft as if it were the most thrilling adventure. The woodcut technique used in this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its historical charm. Each line meticulously carved into the wood brings life to these young boys and their surroundings. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork also offers insights into botany and natural history. It reminds us of scientific methods employed during that era to study trees and plants. Through such engravings, children could learn about different species while appreciating art simultaneously. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time - reliving carefree holidays filled with innocent fun under sun-drenched orchards. This print not only captures stolen bites but also evokes our own appetite for nostalgia and simpler times gone by.
