EDITORS COMMENTS
The Bundle of Sticks, a captivating illustration from Baby's Own Aesop, takes us on a journey through the power of unity. Engraved and printed by Edmund Evans in London around 1920, this enchanting color lithograph showcases the remarkable talent of Walter Crane (1845-1915). In this timeless image, we witness a poignant moral tale unfold. The story revolves around brothers who have fallen out and serves as a reminder that strength lies in togetherness. As we gaze at the scene before us, we see these young boys breaking individual sticks effortlessly but struggling when faced with a bundle. Crane's skillful depiction captures not only their physical struggle but also the emotional weight carried by each character. It is an allegory for life itself – reminding us that division weakens while unity empowers. This print holds immense value beyond its aesthetic appeal; it carries within it an important lesson for all ages. As fathers read this fable to their children or educators use it as an educational tool, they impart wisdom about cooperation and harmony. Now preserved in a private collection, this exquisite artwork continues to inspire generations with its profound message. Let us cherish this beautiful piece and remember that even the smallest acts of unity can create immeasurable strength.
