EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled ""Tis pleasant sure to see ones self in print"" by the English School from the 19th century, showcases a delightful scene filled with humor and satire. The artwork depicts a whimsical caricature of a comic figure gazing at his own image in print, as if admiring himself on the pages of The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood. The black and white illustration captures the essence of early 19th-century humor, with its clever depiction of the protagonist standing near a windowpane on a windowsill. The artist skillfully portrays the character's amusement and satisfaction upon seeing his own likeness in print. It is evident that this satirical drawing aims to poke fun at human vanity and our innate desire for recognition. The intricate details of this engraving highlight both the talent of the engraver and their ability to bring humor to life through art. This piece serves as an amusing reminder that there is something undeniably gratifying about seeing oneself immortalized in print. Displayed within private collections, this enchanting artwork continues to captivate viewers even centuries after its creation. Its timeless appeal lies not only in its humorous narrative but also in its ability to reflect universal human tendencies that transcend time periods. This fine art print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate and enjoy this remarkable work while celebrating the wit and creativity it embodies.
