EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical pen and ink drawing titled "A Whale in Trafalgar Square, c. 1930" artist Rex Whistler invites us into a comical world where imagination knows no bounds. The scene unfolds with a sense of childlike wonder as a massive whale gracefully swims through the iconic Trafalgar Square fountain. Whistler's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the essence of bustling London life during the 1930s. Children can be seen eagerly spearing fish from the fountain while others watch in awe, their faces filled with joy and excitement. A double-decker bus passes by, seemingly oblivious to the extraordinary sight before them. This delightful artwork transports us back to an era when innocence reigned supreme and anything was possible. It reminds us of our own childhood dreams and fantasies, where even the most unlikely scenarios could come true. The small-scale print measures just 12.7x17.8 cm but packs a punch with its imaginative storytelling and clever composition. Now part of a private collection at Abbott and Holder in London, this charming piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply looking for a touch of whimsy in your home decor, "A Whale in Trafalgar Square" is sure to bring smiles and spark conversations for years to come.
