EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Beware of the Express!" by Samuel Edmund Waller, we are transported back to a winter wonderland in 1875. The scene is filled with excitement and danger as children and dogs take to the ice for a thrilling day of ice skating. The artist skillfully captures the essence of youthful exuberance and mischief, as children glide across the frozen pond with sheer delight. Their rosy cheeks and wide smiles reflect their joyous spirits, while their bundled-up attire protects them from the biting cold. However, amidst all the laughter and fun, there is an air of caution that permeates through this artwork. A warning sign prominently displayed reminds us to be wary of an approaching express train - a reminder that even in moments of pure bliss, we must remain vigilant. Waller's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; he masterfully portrays both human figures and canine companions gracefully navigating the icy surface. The dogs add an element of playfulness to the composition, chasing each other with boundless energy. This enchanting print serves as a timeless reminder that life's most exhilarating moments can also carry risks. It encourages us to embrace adventure but never forget our responsibilities or neglect safety precautions. "Beware of the Express!" invites us into a world where innocence meets danger on an icy stage – reminding us that even amid carefree joy, it is essential always to proceed with caution.
