EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lions Bride (colour litho) captures a mesmerizing scene from the 19th century, showcasing the extraordinary talent of an English School artist. This print, part of a private collection, depicts a moment filled with both danger and intrigue. In this artwork, we witness a young girl lying unconscious within the confines of a lion's cage. The fierce and majestic creature stands guard over her fragile form, its piercing gaze hinting at both peril and protection. The juxtaposition between vulnerability and strength is palpable as we contemplate the delicate balance between human and animal. The vivid colors employed in this lithograph bring forth an atmosphere of horror and suspense. It is as if time has frozen in anticipation of what may unfold next – will she awaken unharmed or succumb to the untamed nature lurking just inches away? This image serves as a powerful reminder of our fascination with captive wildlife within zoos during that era. It invites us to reflect upon our relationship with these magnificent creatures, raising questions about their place in society. As we delve into 'The Lions Bride, ' we are transported back to an age where art was used not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as a medium for storytelling. Through this print, we are invited to explore themes such as bravery, fearlessness, captivity, and liberation.
