EDITORS COMMENTS
Except on Business (engraving) captures a charming domestic scene from the late 19th century, beautifully depicted by Lucien Davis. This delightful print showcases a bustling household where even the family pets are involved in daily affairs. The engraving, originally published in The Illustrated London News in December 1885, offers a glimpse into the lives of children and their furry companions. In this image, we witness two young girls engrossed in their playtime activities while surrounded by an array of adorable dogs. It is evident that these loyal animals are not just pets but valued members of the family. As one child attentively feeds her four-legged friend at the dining table, another girl appears to be engaged in some sort of trade or business transaction with her canine companion. Davis's attention to detail brings this scene to life; every element within it exudes warmth and harmony. From the intricate engravings capturing each dog's unique features to the expressions on both human and animal faces, there is an undeniable sense of joy and camaraderie present throughout. This enchanting print serves as a reminder that our beloved pets have always held special places within our homes and hearts – offering comfort, companionship, and even participating in everyday activities alongside us. 'Except on Business' encapsulates timeless themes of love, friendship, and childhood innocence that continue to resonate with viewers today.
