EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming bathtime scene by Alfred Bestall, a little girl, holding her beloved teddy bear, examines her reflection in the mirror with a sense of wonder and amazement. With a thoughtful expression on her face, she exclaims to her mother, "You know, mummy, God must be magic, He's made me without a single seam!" Bestall, best-known for his creation of Rupert Bear, which he drew for thirty years, showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the innocence and playfulness of childhood in this heartwarming illustration. Prior to his tenure with Rupert Bear, Bestall produced over forty color illustrations for The Tatler and countless humorous line drawings and cartoon sketches. This particular illustration, dated September 1930, is a testament to his versatility as an artist. The mother tenderly dries her child, while the small girl, wrapped in a towel, gazes at her reflection with delight, unaware of the admiring gaze of her adoring teddy bear. Bestall's ability to infuse his work with warmth, humor, and a touch of the magical is evident in this beautiful scene. His mastery of color and line creates a vivid and enduring image that transports us back in time, inviting us to bask in the simple joys of childhood.
