More about this artwork

Peter Newell's 1912 illustration titled "The Rocket Book Pl 06" captures a whimsical and slightly chaotic moment in a vintage household setting. In this intriguing scene, two children are depicted in a state of surprise and awe as a rocket shoots upwards from a small house-shaped structure on a table. The rocket propels a variety of objects, including several books and what appears to be animals, into the air with a dramatic greenish glow, creating a dynamic and humorous effect.The boy, dressed in a suit and bow tie, watches from one side with his hair blown back by the force of the blast, highlighting the intensity of the event. On the other side, a girl stares in open-mouthed astonishment, further amplifying the comic and unexpected nature of the scenario.Surrounded by elegantly patterned wallpaper and a strategically placed painting depicting a quiet outdoor scene, this illustration contrasts the calm environment with the explosive action at its center.
