Pride Goes Before a Fall (chromolitho) - A Captivating Tale of Equestrian Misfortune
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This enchanting chromolithograph, titled "Pride goes before a Fall" transports us back to the 19th century and invites us into a world of elegance, horses, and unexpected mishaps. The image captures a moment from an article published in The Graphic's Christmas Number in 1896. In this scene, we witness the aftermath of an unfortunate incident during the Toffham Hunt. Two ladies, dressed impeccably in their fashionable riding attire, find themselves crestfallen and drenched after an unexpected fall into a brook. Their once proud mounts have forsaken them as they step out of the field with looks of misery etched on their faces. The Duchess of Reddimony stands nearby offering aid while her loyal factotum George assists with her toilette. Despite their feminine grace and high social status, these women are not exempt from life's humbling experiences. The artwork serves as a reminder that pride can lead to unforeseen consequences for even the most respected individuals. It also highlights how appearances can be deceiving; what may seem captivating at first glance can quickly turn ugly when faced with misfortune. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us reflect on our own lives and remember that humility is essential in navigating both triumphs and tribulations.
