Goose Goes Shopping
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful and whimsical illustration by the talented George Henry Thompson, created around the turn of the 20th century. Thompson, born in 1859, was known for his humorous animal illustrations, as well as his landscape paintings. This charming image of a goose outfitted in a hat and coat, carrying a shopping bag and perusing the wares in a market, is a testament to Thompson's unique ability to anthropomorphize animals in a way that brings a smile to the face of viewers. The scene is reminiscent of a quaint European marketplace, with colorful stalls selling fresh produce, baked goods, and other local specialties. The goose, dressed in human attire, blends in seamlessly with the human shoppers, adding to the playful and imaginative nature of the illustration. The goose's expression is one of concentration and determination, as if it is carefully considering which items to add to its shopping bag. This image was published in books and postcards by Ernest Nister, a renowned publisher of children's books and prints. The illustration's anthropomorphic elements and lighthearted humor would have appealed to young audiences, making it a beloved addition to their collections. Thompson's "Goose Goes Shopping" is a timeless work of art that continues to captivate viewers with its charming depiction of a goose's shopping adventure. The illustration invites us to imagine a world where animals can shop and interact with humans, adding a touch of whimsy and delight to our daily lives.
