Breadth Butt Cigarette Eastern Proverbs Mile Proverb Saying Sayings Beside

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "A hairs breadth at the bow is a mile beside the butt" by Rene Bull takes us on a journey into the world of Eastern Proverbs. This color lithograph, part of a set of cigarette cards published by Churchman in the early 20th century, beautifully illustrates an age-old saying that holds profound wisdom. In this intricate artwork, we see a scene that transports us to another time and place. The attention to detail is remarkable as every stroke brings life to the characters and their surroundings. The card depicts two figures standing on what appears to be a boat or ship, with one person pointing towards something in the distance. The proverb itself speaks volumes about perspective and perception. It reminds us that even the smallest difference can have significant consequences depending on our vantage point. A hair's breadth may seem insignificant when compared to a mile, but when placed beside it, its true magnitude becomes apparent. This historical piece not only serves as an artistic delight but also offers an educational insight into different cultures and their unique sayings. It encourages viewers to reflect upon their own lives and consider how seemingly small choices or actions can have far-reaching effects. With its rich colors and thought-provoking message, this print invites us to explore beyond our immediate surroundings and embrace diverse perspectives – reminding us that sometimes it's those tiny details that make all the difference in understanding ourselves and others better.
