EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively chromolitho print captures the essence of a traditional New Year celebration in 19th century Ireland. Titled "Taking Pigs to Market, New Year Card" this artwork is a charming representation of the customs and festivities associated with the holiday season. In the foreground, we see a young boy leading a group of pigs along a country road. With his cheerful expression and firm grip on their ropes, he takes on the responsibility of delivering these swine to market. The road sign in the background points towards both Cork and Dublin, symbolizing the journey that lies ahead for these animals. The composition exudes joy and excitement as it showcases children eagerly celebrating Hogmanay, or New Year's Eve. Their presence adds an element of innocence and playfulness to this scene. Holding signs that read "Happy New Year" and "Celebrate" they embody the spirit of hope and anticipation that comes with welcoming a new year. This delightful image serves as more than just an artistic piece; it also functions as a greeting card for loved ones during this festive period. Its warm colors, intricate details, and nostalgic charm make it an ideal keepsake for anyone looking to spread cheer during this special time. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this print by English School from Fine Art Finder is truly timeless in its ability to transport viewers back to simpler times filled with merriment and tradition.
