EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "A Disgrace to his Family" artist Stanley Berkeley takes us back in time to the year 1885. The image, now preserved in a private collection, was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News. The scene depicts a humorous and somewhat chaotic family gathering, where dogs take center stage. A mischievous puppy has managed to cause quite a commotion, much to the dismay of its canine relatives and human owners alike. With tails wagging furiously and expressions of disbelief on their faces, the other dogs seem appalled by the antics of their wayward sibling. Berkeley's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the intricate patterns on the furniture to the delicate features of each dog's face, he brings this lively moment to life with great skill. This artwork not only captures a comical scenario but also explores themes related to family dynamics and working animals. It reminds us that even within our own families or communities, there can be individuals who challenge conventions or bring unexpected surprises into our lives. "A Disgrace to his Family" is undoubtedly a delightful addition to any art collection – an enchanting reminder that sometimes it's okay for chaos and laughter to reign supreme amidst tradition and order.
