Perils of the Illiterate - A Chaotic Scene Unfolds in a Colourful Lithograph
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant lithograph titled "Perils of the Illiterate" artist Marie, Adrien Emmanuel captures a chaotic scene that unfolds within a cozy home. The print, dating back to 1888 and part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for The Graphic's Christmas Number. The image portrays a room filled with various pieces of furniture, including chairs upholstered in yellow fabric. In the corner, we see Lizzie, a young child who has just discovered an open jar of jam on the floor. With her tiny fingers covered in sticky sweetness, she reaches out towards an adjacent shelf where jars containing mustard powder and other spices are precariously perched. Meanwhile, two babies sit innocently on stools nearby as they observe the commotion unfolding before them. One can't help but worry about their safety as they teeter dangerously close to tumbling off their seats. This artwork serves as a cautionary tale about the perils faced by illiterate individuals within society. It highlights how lack of education can lead to accidents and pain when simple tasks like reading labels or understanding warnings become challenging. Through vivid colors and intricate details, this lithograph reminds us of the importance of literacy in our daily lives – not only for personal growth but also for ensuring our well-being and avoiding unnecessary mishaps.
