EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Johnny dived to the bottom of his pocket" we are transported back in time to witness a charming scene from 19th-century England. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a young boy named Johnny engrossed in a street encounter. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy street, Johnny's attention is captured by a chestnut seller nearby. With curiosity and excitement evident on his face, he can't resist the temptation of purchasing some roasted chestnuts from the vendor's brazier. However, there seems to be one small obstacle standing between him and this delectable treat - his empty pockets. Undeterred by this setback, our resourceful protagonist takes matters into his own hands. Determination etched on his features, Johnny dives deep into the depths of his pocket in search of any hidden treasure that may grant him access to those mouthwatering chestnuts. This enchanting illustration was originally featured in Sunday Reading for the Young magazine published by Wells Gardner in 1884. It beautifully captures both the innocence and resilience often associated with childhood adventures. Through its intricate details and skillful execution, it transports us back to a simpler time when even mundane tasks like buying roasted chestnuts held immense joy for young hearts. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection and serves as a delightful reminder that sometimes all it takes is determination and resourcefulness to turn everyday moments into extraordinary memories.
