"Children Gathering Firewood" is a notable mezzotint created by the British artist John Cother Webb. Webb, who was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is renowned for his mastery in the mezzotint technique, a printmaking process that allows for the creation of rich, velvety textures and a wide range of tonal values. This particular work exemplifies Webb's skill in capturing the subtleties of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey a poignant narrative through his art.

The mezzotint depicts a serene yet evocative scene of children engaged in the simple, yet laborious task of gathering firewood. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures of the children placed harmoniously within a natural landscape. Webb's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the children's clothing, the texture of the firewood, and the surrounding foliage. The play of light and shadow in the piece not only enhances the three-dimensional quality of the figures but also imbues the scene with a sense of depth and realism.

"Children Gathering Firewood" reflects the socio-economic conditions of the time, subtly highlighting the role of children in contributing to the household economy. It also captures a moment of quiet industry and cooperation, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler, pastoral way of life. Webb's use of the mezzotint technique in this work allows for a soft, almost dreamlike quality, which adds to the overall emotional impact of the piece.

This work is a testament to John Cother Webb's technical prowess and his ability to infuse his prints with both aesthetic beauty and social commentary. "Children Gathering Firewood" remains an important example of mezzotint art and continues to be appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
