EDITORS COMMENTS
Dr. Fell, the enigmatic character from the classic Mother Goose rhyme, comes to life in this silhouette illustration by Charles Robinson, created around 1911. The image, a timeless masterpiece from the annals of children's literature, presents Dr. Fell in his most iconic form - a tall, shadowy figure with a wide-brimmed hat and a long, curved cane. His silhouette, framed against the backdrop of a fiery sunset, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the image. Charles Robinson, a renowned illustrator of his time, expertly employs the technique of silhouette art to bring Dr. Fell's character to the forefront. The stark contrast between the dark silhouette and the bright sunset creates a visual harmony that captivates the viewer's attention. The intricate details of Dr. Fell's attire, from the folds of his coat to the curved handle of his cane, are expertly rendered in the negative space. The image is a visual representation of the Mother Goose rhyme "Dr. Fell, Dentist of the Tower," which tells the story of a wicked dentist who extracts children's teeth in the most gruesome ways possible. Despite the dark undertones of the rhyme, this illustration manages to maintain a sense of whimsy and wonder, making it a beloved piece of children's literature and art. This silhouette illustration of Dr. Fell is a testament to the power of simple yet effective visual storytelling. It invites the viewer to ponder the character's true intentions and adds a touch of nostalgia to any space it occupies. A true masterpiece from the golden age of children's literature, this illustration continues to captivate and inspire generations.
