EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration, titled "Wont Nobody Kiss Us Good-Night?" by the renowned British artist Lawson Wood, captures the tender moment between two orangutans as they wait to be kissed goodnight. Dated back to September 7, 1930, this color illustration showcases the artist's exceptional talent in bringing warmth and emotion to his work. The scene is set in a lush, tropical rainforest, where the two orangutans, clad in simple loincloths, sit on a wooden platform, their eyes gazing up at their human companion. The orangutans' expressions convey a sense of anticipation and longing, as they reach out their arms, hoping for a goodnight kiss. The human figure, dressed in colonial attire, leans over them with a gentle smile, his hand extended to grant their request. The intricate details in the illustration, from the textured foliage to the individual strands of hair on the orangutans' heads, demonstrate Wood's mastery of the medium. The use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the image, transporting the viewer to a far-off land filled with wonder and magic. As a historical piece, "Wont Nobody Kiss Us Good-Night?" offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of colonial-era art and the fascination with exotic animals. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Lawson Wood's work, which continues to captivate audiences with its charm and whimsy. This beautiful illustration, with its timeless message of love and companionship, is a must-have for any art collection or those with an interest in the history of illustration. Imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, this print is a treasured addition to any home or office, reminding us of the simple joys of life and the importance of cherishing the moments we share with those we care about.
