EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover design for The Boys Own Annual, a late 19th century publication, showcases a vibrant and energetic scene filled with the spirit of boyhood and the thrill of sport. The richly illustrated image, created by an unknown artist and available through Terry Parker's Mary Evans Picture Library, invites viewers to imagine the adventures that lie within the pages of this annual. The cover is dominated by a dynamic rowing scene, with boys in red and black uniforms, their faces focused and determined as they power their boat forward. The water shimmers with reflections of the sun and the surrounding landscape, while the silver oars slice through the water with precision. In the background, a cricket match is in full swing, with a cricketer in white clothing and a black cap poised to deliver a pitch. The top of the cover features a gallant horse and rider, their bodies adorned in gold and red, adding an element of elegance and adventure to the design. The combination of rowing, boating, cricket, and horseback riding represents the diverse range of sports and activities that were popular among boys during this time period. The cover's intricate details and lively composition make it a standout example of the illustrated art of the late 19th century. The Boys Own Annual was a publication that aimed to inspire and engage young readers, and this cover design certainly accomplishes that goal, inviting boys to dream of the thrills and excitement that awaited them within the pages of the annual.
