EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print titled "Kensington Gardens, Air Balloons" captures the essence of childhood innocence and adventure in the late 19th century. Created by Edith Farmiloe, a talented artist from the Victorian era, this colour lithograph is a delightful illustration for the book "Rag, Tag, and Bobtail" with verses by Winifred Parnell. The scene depicts a bustling day at Kensington Gardens, where children from different social classes gather to witness an awe-inspiring sight - air balloons floating gracefully in the sky. Amongst them are working-class urchins and well-dressed boys and girls alike. The juxtaposition of these characters highlights societal divisions but also showcases their shared fascination with these magnificent flying objects. Farmiloe's comic style adds a touch of humor to this charming image as we see a young boy acting as a vendor selling miniature versions of these air balloons. His entrepreneurial spirit shines through as he tries to make some fine money amidst his peers' amusement. This print not only transports us back in time but also reminds us of the universal joys of childhood playfulness and imagination. It serves as a testament to how art can capture moments that transcend generations, making it an enchanting addition to any collection or space dedicated to celebrating history and storytelling.
