A Triumph of Civilisation
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and vibrant colour lithograph that transports us back to the Christmas season of 1894. This print, created by William Hatherell and now part of a private collection, was originally featured in The Graphic magazine's Christmas Number. The scene depicted in this artwork showcases an intriguing mix of elements that symbolize progress and societal advancements. Amidst the backdrop of a bustling liner deck, we see gentlemen engaged in animated conversations while comfortably seated on deckchairs. In contrast, children playfully roam around, their unreproved actions adding a sense of liveliness to the scene. One cannot help but notice the presence of babies and infants being cared for by nurses nearby. These newborns represent the future generation benefiting from the triumphs achieved by civilization. Grant Allen's influence on this illustration becomes apparent as it highlights themes related to paediatrics and child development. The artist skillfully captures movement through blurred motion techniques, emphasizing action and agitation within this lively setting. The image evokes feelings of joyous activity as toddlers explore their surroundings with curiosity while little children engage in playful interactions. "A Triumph of Civilisation" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document capturing society's progress during that era. It reminds us how far we have come since then while also celebrating our ongoing journey towards further advancements for generations to come.
