EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph captures a comical scene of chickens attempting to imitate an airplane in flight, with disastrous consequences. Created by the English School in the 20th century, this colorful print showcases the ambition and folly of these farm animals. The illustration is taken from The Sunshine Book published by Blackie & Son around 1920, portraying a moment that combines childhood imagination with animal antics. In their pursuit to emulate an aircraft soaring through the sky, these feathered daredevils find themselves facing unfortunate mishaps. The image evokes a sense of both amusement and concern as we witness the consequences of their audacious endeavor. A group of children watches on, captivated by this spectacle unfolding before them. Amongst them stands a doctor who may soon be called upon to tend to any injuries sustained during this daring escapade. With its vivid colors and lively depiction, this artwork reminds us of the innocence and curiosity found within childhood adventures. It also serves as a cautionary tale about overreaching ambitions without considering potential dangers or limitations. As part of Bridgeman Images' private collection, this print offers viewers a glimpse into early twentieth-century illustrations while highlighting themes such as accidents, wildlife encounters, and medical care for injured creatures.
