EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a thrilling moment in time, frozen within the vibrant hues of this print. The image transports us to an English schoolyard, where a group of energetic boys embark on a daring steeplechase. With determination etched across their faces, they sprint towards the first fence, their legs propelling them forward with youthful vigor. This scene is reminiscent of Tom Brown's Schooldays, an iconic piece of English literature penned by Thomas Hughes. Published around 1910 and beautifully illustrated by Percy Tarrant, this artwork brings to life one of the book's exhilarating chapters. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness these children engaging in a spirited chase. Their camaraderie and competitive spirit shine through as they navigate each obstacle with skill and agility. The image not only showcases the physical prowess and resilience of these young athletes but also serves as a nostalgic reminder of carefree childhood days spent outdoors. It evokes memories of running freely through fields and playgrounds without inhibition or worry. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, "Over the First Fence (colour litho)" stands as both an homage to classic literature and an ode to the joyous adventures that define our formative years.
