EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "If Wishes Were Horses (colour litho)" by John Hassall takes us back to the enchanting world of childhood. The image, part of a private collection, is an illustration for "The Old Nursery Stories and Rhymes" published by Blackie around 1910. In this whimsical scene, we see a group of children gathered around a beggar who holds their attention with his storytelling skills. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the nursery rhyme to life as we witness the magic unfold. Each child's face reflects awe and wonderment as they listen intently to the beggar's tale. The verse "If wishes were horses" reminds us of the power of imagination in childhood. It transports us into a realm where anything is possible, where dreams can come true simply through wishing. As we gaze at this print, it evokes memories of our own youthful innocence and boundless imagination. Hassall's artistic talent shines through in his ability to capture not only the physical features but also the emotions on each character's face. This piece serves as a reminder that storytelling has always been an integral part of childhood, igniting our imaginations and taking us on incredible journeys without ever leaving our seats. "If Wishes Were Horses (colour litho)" is more than just a beautiful artwork; it encapsulates the essence of childhood joy and curiosity that resides within all of us.
