EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Donkey that wouldn't go" transports us back to a simpler time in rural England. Created by the talented artist Myles Birket Foster in 1879, this print captures a delightful scene filled with charm and innocence. In the foreground, we see a stubborn donkey standing still while two young children eagerly await their turn for a ride. The children's faces are filled with anticipation and excitement as they hold onto each other, hoping to persuade the reluctant donkey to move forward. Their colorful clothing adds vibrancy to the tranquil countryside setting. The artist skillfully portrays the idyllic rural landscape surrounding them; rolling hills dotted with trees and quaint cottages provide an enchanting backdrop. This scene evokes feelings of nostalgia and reminds us of carefree childhood days spent exploring nature's wonders. Foster's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the texture of the donkey's fur to the intricate patterns on its harness, each element is meticulously rendered. "A Donkey that wouldn't go" serves as a timeless reminder that even in moments of frustration or disappointment, there is beauty in perseverance and joy found within simple pleasures. It invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences where determination triumphed over obstacles - whether big or small - just like these resilient children who refuse to give up on their donkey ride adventure.
