EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Kewpies and the Little Browns" takes us back to a delightful moment in history. Created in 1909, this image was originally featured in Ladies Home Journal and Practical Housekeeper, showcasing the very first Kewpies cartoon. The artist behind this enchanting piece is Rose O'Neill (1874-1944), known for her exceptional skills in book art, design, lithography, poster and graphic design. In this scene from the early 20th century, we are transported into a whimsical world where adorable Kewpie dolls interact with their equally charming companions - the Little Browns. With meticulous attention to detail and fine artistry, O'Neill brings these characters to life through her masterful use of color and composition. Preserved within a private collection in the United States, this print offers us a glimpse into an era filled with innocence and imagination. It serves as a testament to O'Neill's artistic brilliance while also reminding us of the enduring appeal of childhood wonderment. As we admire this remarkable piece of vintage artwork today, let it transport us back to simpler times when joy could be found in even the smallest moments. May it inspire us to embrace our own inner child and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us each day.
