EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Look at the mother before becoming engaged to the daughter" transports us back to 1931, capturing a moment of wisdom and cultural insight. Created by Rene Bull, this colour lithograph is part of a private collection. The image features an Indian proverb relating to marriage, reminding us of the importance of considering the mother's qualities before committing to her daughter. Originally used as an illustration on a cigarette card from the Churchman series depicting Eastern Proverbs, it reflects the popularity and educational value that these cards held during their golden age. Before television and radio became widespread forms of entertainment, cigarette cards like this one served as both collector items and sources of instruction, amusement, and entertainment. This particular card highlights themes such as wisdom, common sense, prudence in marriage choices, shrewdness in decision-making, and folk wisdom. Bridgeman Images has preserved this vintage card for our enjoyment today. It serves as a reminder of how advertising could be both promotional and informative while showcasing beautiful illustrations like this one. Let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance in providing valuable life lessons through visual storytelling.
