EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The good man of Islington dressing" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century England. The illustration is a scene from Oliver Goldsmith's renowned poem, "An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog". In this charming depiction by Randolph Caldecott, we find ourselves in a cozy bedroom where a gentleman is meticulously getting dressed. With his walking stick resting against the wall and an open book nearby, he seems engrossed in his morning routine. His clothing hangs neatly on hooks as he carefully selects each item to complete his attire. But what catches our attention most is not the man himself but rather the mischievous dog at his feet. A playful pup gazes up at its owner with innocent eyes, seemingly unaware of the tragic events that inspired Goldsmith's poetic elegy. Caldecott's skillful use of shading and fine details brings this scene to life, capturing both the warmth of domesticity and the whimsical nature of children's book illustrations. This print transports us back in time, evoking nostalgia for simpler days when poetry was read aloud by candlelight and dogs were cherished companions. "The good man of Islington dressing" serves as a delightful reminder that even amidst sorrowful tales, there is always room for beauty and joy within art’s embrace.
