EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical engraving titled "A Cure for Insomnia, a Page from a Subalterns Life in India" artist Alexander Stuart Boyd takes us on a humorous journey through the sleepless nights of Jorkin Sahib. The scene depicts an Indian subaltern struggling with insomnia and seeking solace in unconventional methods. Amidst the backdrop of an intricately designed bedroom, we see Jorkin Sahib surrounded by peculiar furniture and curiosities. Determined to find respite from his restless nights, he has called upon a group of friends who have arrived with a rather unconventional solution - a fire engine! With great anticipation, they present him with their special draught that promises to induce sound sleep. As Jorkin Sahib quaffs the mysterious concoction, we are left wondering about its true effects. Will it bring him the much-desired repose or lead to unexpected results? Only time will tell if this hydropathic treatment proves beneficial or adds another layer of hilarity to his predicament. Boyd's illustration captures both the charm and absurdity of colonial life in India during the early 20th century. Through playful imagery and clever details, he invites us to join in on Jorkin Sahib's quest for restful slumber while shedding light on cultural exchanges between Indians and Europeans. This delightful print is sure to tickle your funny bone while reminding us that even amidst our most desperate moments, laughter can be found.
