EDITORS COMMENTS
A Charming Scene of Springtime Surprise by Alfred Bestall (1892-1986) This enchanting print by renowned British artist Alfred Bestall captures the essence of a magical moment in the heart of winter, as the sun sets over a snow-covered field. In the foreground, an elderly gentleman walks hand-in-hand with his delighted granddaughter, their joyful expressions reflecting the beauty of the winter landscape around them. But the scene takes an unexpected turn as a sprightly fairy, unseen by the young girl, playfully tugs at the gentleman's coat, attempting to lead him astray. The surprise on the girl's face is priceless, as she looks up at her grandfather, wondering what could have caught his attention. Bestall, best-known for his thirty-year tenure as the artist behind the beloved Rupert Bear comic strip, showcased his exceptional talent in various mediums before this iconic series. He produced over forty color illustrations for The Tatler magazine and countless humorous line drawings and cartoon sketches. This charming scene, created in 1931, is a testament to Bestall's ability to capture the whimsy and wonder of everyday life. The print, with its delightful blend of reality and fantasy, is a beautiful reminder of the magic that can be found even in the coldest, darkest days of winter, as we eagerly await the arrival of spring.
