1932 Aldin Cecil Exmoor Frontispiece Jerry Joker Ponies Pony
EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece illustration, titled 'The Joker,' dates back to 1932 and features an Exmoor pony in a playful and whimsical scene. The image is taken from the book "Jerry in the Deep South" by Cecil Aldin, published during the 1930s. The Exmoor pony, a breed native to the rugged Exmoor hills in South West England, is known for its small size, hardy nature, and distinctive curved ears. In this illustration, the Joker pony, with its expressive face and mischievous grin, is shown in the act of playfully pulling a prank on another pony. The intricate details of the pony's coat, mane, and tail are rendered in exquisite detail, showcasing the artist's mastery of equine anatomy and his ability to capture the unique personality of this beloved breed. The book, "Jerry in the Deep South," is a collection of humorous stories and illustrations featuring the adventures of Jerry, a fictional Exmoor pony, as he travels through the American South. The illustrations in the book, including this frontispiece, were created by renowned English artist Cecil Aldin, who was known for his ability to capture the essence of horses and ponies in his work. This charming frontispiece illustration is a delightful glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horses and ponies were an integral part of daily life and a source of endless amusement and companionship. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Exmoor ponies and the power of art to capture the imagination and bring joy to audiences of all ages.
