EDITORS COMMENTS
"Title: An Old Lady and Five Geese (1879) This charming Victorian-era illustration, published in 1879, depicts an old lady taking a leisurely walk through a lush green landscape. Dressed in a long, flowing skirt, a cozy shawl wrapped around her shoulders, and a quaint bonnet adorned with ribbons, she seems to be enjoying the crisp autumn air. However, her serene moment is disrupted by the cacophony of five noisy geese waddling in the foreground. The geese, with their plump bodies and distinctive curved necks, are shown in various stages of movement, adding to the sense of chaos. The lead goose, with its beady eyes and open beak, seems to be the instigator of the ruckus, while the others follow suit, cackling and honking in unison. The old lady, portrayed by the renowned illustrator Kate Greenaway, looks irritated and annoyed, as she clutches her walking stick and scowls at the geese. Her expression conveys a sense of exasperation, as she is unable to fully appreciate the beauty of her surroundings due to the noisy intrusion. The illustration, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, captures the essence of the 1870s and the simple pleasures of country life. It is a delightful reminder of a bygone era, where even the most mundane moments could be transformed into works of art." Mary Evans Picture Library / Mary Evans Prints Online. (2023).
