EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "He climbed round a chimney stack" transports us back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases the daring feat of a young boy as he fearlessly scales a towering chimney stack. With each step carefully placed, his nimble figure is captured mid-action, defying gravity and showcasing his adventurous spirit. The intricate details of this print draw our attention to the architectural beauty of the chimney stack itself. Its brickwork stands tall against the sky, creating a stark contrast with the boy's small frame. This juxtaposition emphasizes both his audacity and vulnerability in taking on such an extraordinary challenge. Originally published as an illustration for Sunday Reading for the Young in 1902, this engraving captures not only physical prowess but also serves as a metaphorical representation of determination and perseverance. It reminds us that sometimes we must climb great heights to overcome obstacles or achieve our goals. Preserved within a private collection, this historical artwork offers us a glimpse into bygone days when children found solace in adventure-filled stories. As we admire this piece from Look and Learn's archives, let it inspire us to embrace our own inner courage and conquer whatever chimneys may stand before us on our journey through life.
