EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front cover of "Just So Stories for Little Children" by Rudyard Kipling, a beloved collection of tales that have enchanted readers for generations. The vibrant color lithograph, created in 1951, depicts a thrilling scene from one of the stories. In this illustration, we see an array of African animals gathered around the Limpopo River. At the center of attention is an elephant with its long trunk firmly grasping the nose of a mischievous crocodile. The crocodile's attempt to catch and devour the Elephant's Child has been thwarted by this bi-colored python rock snake. The image beautifully captures both the danger and humor present in Kipling's storytelling. It highlights his skill at anthropomorphizing animals and creating relatable characters within their natural habitats. The intricate details and vivid colors bring these creatures to life, making it easy to imagine oneself immersed in their world. From the slithering serpent to the majestic elephants observing from afar, each animal exudes a sense of realism that adds depth to this enchanting scene. This print serves as a reminder of Kipling's enduring legacy as one of literature's greatest storytellers. It invites viewers into a world where imagination reigns supreme and teaches valuable lessons through entertaining narratives about nature and wildlife.
