EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical lithograph titled "Pride goes before a fall" captures the essence of human folly in the most amusing way. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a series of hilarious mishaps that befall both men and women due to their own prideful actions. The scene is set during Christmas time, adding an extra layer of merriment to the already humorous narrative. The characters depicted are dressed in fashionable attire of the era, highlighting not only their vanity but also providing us with a glimpse into 19th-century fashion trends. From hunting accidents to clothing catastrophes, each vignette within this artwork portrays individuals experiencing embarrassing falls as a result of their inflated egos. It serves as a reminder that excessive pride can often lead to one's downfall. Published originally in The Graphic Christmas Number in 1896, this piece has stood the test of time and continues to bring laughter to viewers today. Its clever use of comic strips allows for easy storytelling and enhances its appeal across generations. As we admire this delightful print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us take pleasure in recognizing our shared humanity through these relatable moments. May it serve as a lighthearted reminder that sometimes it's best to leave our pride at the door and embrace humility instead.
