"Children Playing at Horses", by C. R. Leslie, in the late International Exhibition, 1862. 'We cannot seize and confine in words the delicate aroma of natural truth and beauty in this picture, nor construe its painted ode or idyl of child-life. Although, however, we cannot do this, we enjoy in this Journal the privilege, by the valuable aid of our draughtsmen and engravers, of transmitting to the reader some...of the nameless charm of such works. We leave, then, to our Engraving to tell of the subtlety and simplicity of the original...how, with the simplest and most familiar materials, the true artist will create a precious something which shall convey a new impression, impart a new pleasure -compelling us in this instance to sympathize with and almost share the fun of those little folks "playing at horses," or, at all events, recognize the consummate truth to nature in their several expressions of innocently-assumed grandeur in the fine lady, with her baby-doll and parasol, sitting so luxuriantly in the carriage; importance of office and dutiful solicitude in the coachman, and becoming docility in the high-stepping "horses," even though that restive little filly will not answer the reins quite satisfactorily'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

Children Playing at Horses
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful snapshot of innocence and imagination captured by C. R. Leslie in the late International Exhibition of 1862. The painting, expertly recreated by W Thomas, transports us to a world where children are lost in their own make-believe game of horses and carriages.
The scene is filled with charm and authenticity, as we see the children fully immersed in their roles - from the fine lady with her baby-doll and parasol, to the dutiful coachman guiding the carriage, to the high-stepping "horses" prancing along. Each expression is perfectly captured, conveying a sense of joy and playfulness that is truly heartwarming.
Through this painting, Leslie reminds us of the beauty found in simple moments of childhood play. The artist's attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of youth shines through in every brushstroke.
As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are reminded of our own carefree days spent playing make-believe games with friends. "Children Playing at Horses" serves as a timeless reminder that no matter how old we grow, there will always be magic in embracing our inner child and letting our imaginations run wild.
