Hark, Hark! The Dogs Do Bark
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting illustration from a circa 1914 magazine, showcasing the beloved old English nursery rhyme coming to life. The captivating image, created by the talented hand of John Hassall, invites us into a scene of anticipation and wonder as the community prepares for the arrival of beggars in town. The illustration is rich in colour and detail, capturing the essence of the rhyme's whimsical verses. The barking dogs, with their alert expressions and tails wagging, create a lively atmosphere, while the beggars, dressed in a range of clothing from rags to jags and velvet gowns, add a sense of intrigue and diversity. The townspeople, gathered around the town square, seem both curious and slightly apprehensive, as they await the arrival of the beggars. The illustration is a beautiful example of the artistic style of the early 20th century, with its intricate line work and vibrant colours. It is believed to have been published in November of an unspecified volume of a magazine, adding to its historical significance. This image, with its timeless charm and nostalgic appeal, continues to captivate audiences and remains a beloved piece of illustrative art from the past.
