EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "You are requested to keep the Hall Doors shut on Account of the Animals in the Park" transports us back to a bygone era. The scene is set within a grand country house, where chaos ensues as various animals have found their way into the elegant interiors. In this humorous and lively depiction, we witness a maid rushing through the hallways with an umbrella in hand. She has just arrived to find an unexpected menagerie taking over her workplace. A mischievous fox scampers past her, while deer roam freely and dogs bark excitedly. The animals seem to have discovered a fruit bowl filled with dainties, which only adds to their delight. The artist skillfully captures both the distant commotion outside and the frantic atmosphere inside. We can almost hear screams of surprise mixed with laughter echoing through these opulent halls. It's as if true incidents from this country house's history have come alive before our eyes. Amidst all this mayhem, one cannot help but admire the quixotic temperament of these creatures seeking refuge within human confines. This print serves as a whimsical reminder that even in refined settings such as this, nature will always find its way in – whether invited or not. Overall, Samuel Edmund Waller's lithograph offers us a delightful glimpse into another time when life was full of surprises and enchantment awaited at every turn.
