EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting print titled "The Badgers winter stores, which indeed were visible everywhere" we are transported into the whimsical world of Kenneth Grahame's beloved children's story, Wind in the Willows. The room is filled with an abundance of nature's bounty as we witness the result of the badger's diligent preparations for the cold season. Every corner and crevice is occupied by baskets overflowing with fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Apples and turnips nestle alongside marrows and onions while hazelnuts peek out from their hiding places. It seems that no edible treasure has been left uncollected by our resourceful badger friend. Amidst this botanical wonderland stands a group of delightful animal characters: a rat dressed in a cozy dressing gown, a curious mole peering at the impressive supplies, and of course, our wise old badger overseeing his well-stocked domain. A water vole also joins them in marveling at this display of nature's abundance. Arthur Rackham's exquisite color lithography brings to life every detail - from the flickering candle casting warm light on these precious provisions to the intricate textures found within each fruit and vegetable. This image not only captures a moment from Grahame's timeless tale but also celebrates nature's generosity and reminds us of the importance of preparation for times ahead. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost taste the sweetness of ripe apples or feel warmth emanating from crackling hearths nearby.
