EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Their Only Holiday" we are transported back to the 19th century, where a group of East End boys is seen enjoying a day's sport by fishing in London. The image captures the pure joy and innocence of childhood as these children relish their rare opportunity for leisure. Set against the backdrop of Blackheath, an idyllic location known for its natural beauty, these youngsters have found solace from their everyday struggles in the simple pleasure of fishing. Their faces radiate excitement and anticipation as they cast their lines into the tranquil waters. The artist skillfully portrays the camaraderie among these friends, highlighting their bond through shared laughter and animated conversations. It is evident that this holiday holds great significance for them – perhaps it offers a temporary escape from their challenging lives or serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, moments of happiness can be found. This enchanting print not only showcases the artistic talent of English School but also provides us with a glimpse into history. It reminds us that regardless of time or place, children will always find ways to enjoy themselves and make lasting memories. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we cannot help but feel inspired by these resilient young souls who seize every opportunity to create joy in their lives.
