EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The mischievous Raven flew laughing away" we are transported to the late 19th century, where the whimsical imagination of Randolph Caldecott comes to life. The scene is taken from his renowned poem, "A Farmer went Trotting upon His Grey Mare" beautifully illustrated in his book "The Panjandrum Picture Book". Amidst a picturesque countryside lane, we witness an unexpected incident unfold. A mischievous raven perches on a branch above, seemingly amused by its own antics. With feathers gleaming in vibrant colors and eyes twinkling with mischief, it takes flight while emitting contagious laughter. Below, a farmer and a young girl stand bewildered as they watch the bird's audacious escape. The man appears bandaged, suggesting he may have been involved in some earlier mishap that adds an element of curiosity to the narrative. Caldecott's artistic prowess shines through as he masterfully captures every detail - from the rustic surroundings to the expressions of astonishment on their faces. This enchanting print transports us back in time and reminds us of the enduring appeal of classic literature and illustration. "The mischievous Raven flew laughing away" serves as a testament to Caldecott's legacy as one of Britain's most celebrated illustrators during both the 19th and 20th centuries. It invites viewers into a world where animals possess human-like qualities and everyday incidents become extraordinary adventures worth cherishing for generations to come.
