EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant lithograph titled ""It was as much as we could do to hold them in"" captures a moment of pure childhood joy and excitement. Created by the talented artist John Hassall, this print showcases a scene from the illustrated book "Our Diary of Teddy and Me". In this delightful image, we see a group of children on a sunny day at the beach. Their faces are filled with happiness and anticipation as they hold onto their colorful kites, ready to set them free into the sky. The wind tugs at their kites, making it challenging for the children to keep them grounded. The composition exudes an atmosphere of adventure and fun. The sandy beach stretches out behind them, while the sparkling sea glistens in the distance. It is evident that these young boys and girls are fully immersed in their playful activity, embracing every moment with sheer delight. Hassall's masterful use of color brings vibrancy to each element within the artwork - from the vivid hues of the kites to the warm tones reflecting off their rosy cheeks. This print beautifully encapsulates not only a specific era but also timeless emotions associated with childhood innocence and carefree moments spent outdoors. "It was as much as we could do to hold them in" serves as a nostalgic reminder for viewers of all ages about those cherished memories when life seemed simpler, worries were few, and all that mattered was feeling alive through playfulness and freedom.
