EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "St. Swithin Patron Saint of Umbrella Makers" by George Cruikshank, takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century London. In this scene, a group of men joyfully dance and celebrate under the pouring rain while holding hands underneath a magnificent water fountain. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as he captures every droplet falling from the sky and splashing on the ground. The umbrellas held by these merry gentlemen symbolize their craft and pay homage to St. Swithin, the patron saint of umbrella makers. Amidst this lively atmosphere, one cannot help but be drawn into this unique blend of religious devotion and amusement. It reflects both the British spirit in embracing rainy weather with enthusiasm and their deep-rooted faith in saints. Cruikshank's cartoon-like style adds an element of whimsy to this monochrome masterpiece, making it even more delightful to behold. The etching technique used enhances each stroke, giving depth and texture to every figure in the composition. As we gaze at this historical gem from "Scraps & Sketches" we are transported back in time when celebrations were not dampened by wet weather but rather enhanced by it. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst rainfall, there is always room for enjoyment if one has an open heart – just like these dancing men beneath St. Swithin's watchful eye.
