EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The gypsy remarked in a careless way 'Want to sell that there horse of yours?'" we are transported into the enchanting world of Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. The image, created by Arthur Rackham and published in 1940, beautifully captures a scene from this beloved children's story. Set against a picturesque rural backdrop, we see Mr. Toad seated near a windmill, surrounded by wildlife and farm animals. A mischievous gypsy man approaches him casually with an offer to buy his horse. The atmosphere is filled with intrigue as the viewer wonders what fate awaits our adventurous protagonist. Rackham's use of color lithography brings vibrancy to every detail - from the flickering fire to the cauldron and spoon held by a washerwoman nearby. The composition exudes both tranquility and anticipation, inviting us to step into this whimsical world where animals possess human-like qualities. This evocative artwork not only showcases Rackham's exceptional talent but also serves as a visual reminder of the timeless appeal of classic children's literature. It transports us back to our own childhoods or introduces new generations to the magic found within these pages. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be captivated by its charm and wonder what adventures lie ahead for Mr. Toad on his escapee journey through the countryside.
