Wandering about and ‘boo-hoo’-ing. 1911

"Wandering about and ‘boo-hoo’-ing." is an illustration by Arthur Rackham, a renowned English illustrator known for his whimsical and detailed style, especially in his depictions of fairies and fantastical creatures. The illustration, created in 1911, portrays two children crying in a woodland setting. Rackham's signature use of intricate linework and muted tones creates a sense of melancholy and wonder. The meandering stream and overgrown foliage heighten the sense of isolation and provide a backdrop for the children's emotional outburst. This artwork is a testament to Rackham's ability to capture the essence of childhood innocence and vulnerability through his expressive figures and evocative landscapes.
