Légende

Not Tall Enough! by Arthur Hopkins, from the exhibition of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours, 1881. Engraving of a painting, depicting '...the attitude of despairing endeavour with which a small figure rises on tiptoe at the front door of a house, trying to reach the knocker or the bell-handle some twelve or eight inches above its head...The innocent little subject of the artist's picture, engraved for our front page, may not yet have got a tear on its face, which we are prevented from seeing, but it must already feel some degree of trouble and alarm, and very natural mortification'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
