EDITORS COMMENTS
In this amusing engraving titled "There was an old Man of St Bees" we are transported back to the Victorian era, where humor and satire were often used as a form of entertainment. The image depicts a poor, old man who seems to be mesmerized by something or someone off-screen. His comical expression and disheveled appearance add to the overall humorous tone of the artwork. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this satirical scene, showcasing his ability to create laughter through visual storytelling. It is evident that this old man's job as a banker has not managed to bring him ease or wealth, as he appears downtrodden and worn out. This print serves as a reminder that even in times past, people found solace in poking fun at societal norms and expectations. The clever use of satire allows us to reflect on our own lives and find amusement in everyday situations. As we delve into this whimsical world created by the English School artist, we cannot help but wonder what has captivated the attention of our protagonist. Perhaps it is his cousin Bob causing mischief once again? Whatever it may be, one thing is for certain – this engraving brings joy and laughter to all who encounter it.
