EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph, titled "Eastern Proverb: Look at the mother before becoming engaged to the daughter" by Rene Bull, transports us to a time when cigarette cards were used as educational tools. The artwork is part of a series published by Churchman in the early 20th century, featuring Eastern proverbs. In this particular print, we are reminded of an age-old saying that advises caution and wisdom in matters of love and marriage. The proverb encourages potential suitors to observe and understand the character traits of a woman's mother before committing to her daughter. It suggests that by studying the mother's qualities, one can gain insights into what kind of person her daughter may become. Bull's skillful use of color brings life to this historical scene set in India. The intricate details capture our attention as we explore every element within the composition – from the traditional Indian attire worn by both women to their expressive facial features. As we gaze upon this beautiful lithograph, it serves not only as a visual delight but also as a reminder of how cultural wisdom has been passed down through generations via proverbs. This artwork invites us to reflect on timeless truths embedded within such sayings while appreciating Bull's artistic talent in bringing these Eastern proverbs to life on cigarette cards over a century ago.
