30th Appeared Bear Charitable Lawson Originally Photographing Produced Publication Winters 1928
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming illustration by renowned British artist Lawson Wood, titled "The Sketch Book and Winters Pie," was originally published in the charitable publication "Winters Pie," produced by The Illustrated London News in November 1928. The colorful image depicts a bear sitting on a tree stump, intently focusing on two mischievous little monkeys as they playfully peek out from a tree branch above. The scene exudes a sense of whimsy and delight, capturing the imagination of viewers young and old. The Illustrated London News, established in 1842, was a leading weekly newspaper and illustrated magazine in the United Kingdom. "Winters Pie" was a special supplement to the publication, which featured a collection of color illustrations by various artists, including Lawson Wood. The supplement was sold to raise funds for charitable causes, making it an important part of both artistic and social history. This particular illustration, which appeared in the 30th edition of "Winters Pie," showcases Lawson Wood's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of his subjects with warmth and humor. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of children's stories and the power of art to transport us to magical worlds. The bear's earnest expression and the monkeys' playful antics invite us to join in the fun and imagine our own adventures in the forest. This illustration is a treasure of historical importance and a delight for art and literature lovers alike.
