1823 1885 Academy Charming Exhibited Height Measured Morgan Older Sibling Stand Toes Warning 1901

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming illustration by John Morgan, titled "Don," was first exhibited at the prestigious Royal Academy in London in 1885. The painting depicts a heartwarming moment between two small children and their older sibling. In the scene, the older sibling stands over his younger brothers and sisters, using a ruler to measure their heights. With a gentle warning, the older sibling urges them not to stand on their toes to gain an unfair advantage in the height measurement. John Morgan, born in 1823, was a renowned English painter, known for his detailed and realistic portrayals of everyday life. His work often captured the innocence and playfulness of childhood, making him a favorite among collectors and art enthusiasts. The painting, which dates back to 1901, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating look into the lives of children during the late 19th century. The children in the painting are dressed in typical clothing of the time, adding to the historical significance of the piece. The painting's title, "Don," is believed to be derived from the Spanish word for "lord" or "master," which may suggest that the older sibling is taking on a role of authority and responsibility. The painting's enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke memories of childhood and the bond between siblings. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the talent and skill of John Morgan and offers a valuable insight into the history of art and childhood during the Victorian era. It is a must-have for any art collector, historian, or anyone who appreciates the beauty and innocence of childhood.
