Description: Adorable etching originally titled “Go Cart “, estimated 1920’s. Best known as the original illustrator of Enid Blyton's books, Eileen Soper was particularly fond of depicting children and animals. She was born in 1905, in Enfield, Middlesex, UK, and then moved at a very young age to Hertfordshire, where her father, artist George Soper, built a home the family called "Wildings." Eileen sketched many of the animals living there, including deer, birds, and comical badgers. Showing exceptional talent, at thirteen she produced her first etching, and it was just three years later in 1918 that she was exhibited at the Royal Academy. Soper's charming compositions attracted immediate attention and from the age of just sixteen her future success in the world of illustration was cemented. Work on cream colored woven paper. Artist signed - bottom right. Paper shows discoloration - measures 4 3/4 X 7 1/4 inches, mat measures 12 X 12 1/2 inches. Please view photos carefully as part of description.
