EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Though the thorn in your foot is very little, stop and take it out" we are transported to a bygone era when cigarette cards were cherished as both collectibles and sources of wisdom. Created in 1931 by Rene Bull, this colour lithograph is part of the Churchman series showcasing Eastern Proverbs. The image depicts an Indian proverb that imparts invaluable life advice. A majestic lion stands tall amidst a lush landscape, representing strength and power. However, its paw is pierced by a tiny thorn, reminding us that even the smallest troubles can cause great discomfort if left unattended. Bull's illustration serves as a reminder to pause and address our problems promptly rather than allowing them to fester. The golden age of cigarette cards was characterized not only by their popularity but also their ability to educate and entertain before television and radio became widespread. This vintage card captures the essence of prudence, urging us to exercise care and forethought in our daily lives. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing potential dangers or inconveniences no matter how insignificant they may seem at first glance. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork from yesteryears, let us reflect on its timeless message: taking immediate action against even the tiniest thorns will lead us towards a path of truth, wisdom, and ultimately escape from unnecessary suffering.
