EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Boys and cake" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of pure joy and anticipation. The image showcases a group of young boys gathered around a table, their eyes fixated on a beautifully decorated cake placed in the center. Their faces reveal an eagerness that only children possess when presented with something as delightful as dessert. The scene is set in what appears to be a boarding school, as evidenced by the presence of wooden crates and books scattered across the room. One boy holds a knife, ready to cut into the cake while others anxiously await their turn for a slice. It's clear that this sweet treat is not just any ordinary confection; it represents celebration, perhaps even marking one of their birthdays. The artist skillfully captures the hunger and excitement radiating from these little boys' expressions. Their appetites are heightened by the fact that they have been eagerly waiting for this moment - evident from their neatly packed lunch boxes sitting beside them. This engraving serves as both an enchanting historical artifact and an endearing portrayal of childhood innocence. It reminds us of simpler times when indulging in such pleasures brought immense happiness to young hearts. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel nostalgic for our own youthful days filled with laughter, friendship, and delicious treats like cheesecake or pudding.
