EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Bringing Home the Snakes in Australia" transports us to a bygone era, capturing the innocence and adventure of childhood. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a scene from "Children of All Nations" a popular book published by Cassell around 1880. In this image, we see two children - a boy and a girl - eagerly returning home with their prized discovery: snakes! The excitement on their faces is palpable as they navigate through the Australian landscape. The boy carries a bundle of snakes wrapped around his arm while the girl clutches onto her own reptilian companion. The artwork beautifully portrays the universal curiosity and fearlessness that children possess when exploring new environments. It also highlights how different cultures can shape our experiences and interests. In this case, it's Australia's unique wildlife that captures these young adventurers' attention. With its digitally cleaned image, we can appreciate every intricate detail of this historical engraving. From the expressions on each child's face to the textures of their clothing and surroundings, there is much to admire in this piece. "Bringing Home the Snakes in Australia" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into past times when imagination knew no bounds for children across nations.
