The First Leap, 1857
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the timeless bond between Lord Alexander Russell and his beloved pony, Emerald. Created by renowned artist Charles George Lewis in the 19th century, this enchanting image captures the essence of childhood playfulness and the joy of horse riding. In this monochrome masterpiece, Lord Alexander Russell can be seen confidently perched on his pony's back as they take their first leap together. The composition beautifully portrays the trust and connection shared between rider and steed. As they soar through the air, it is evident that this equestrian pastime brings immense pleasure to both child and animal. The intricate engraving technique employed by Lewis adds depth to every stroke, highlighting each detail with precision. This remarkable artwork is a testament to Sir Edwin Henry Landseer's influence on Lewis' style, as Landseer was known for his exceptional ability to capture animals' expressions with great accuracy. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, "The First Leap" serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with horses throughout history. It evokes nostalgia for simpler times when children found solace in outdoor activities rather than digital distractions. This print offers an opportunity to appreciate not only Charles George Lewis' artistic talent but also the profound connection between humans and animals that transcends time itself.
