EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print titled "M the Meek, 1903" we are transported back to early 20th century Britain through the artistic lens of John Hassall. The image is an initial letter M from a child's alphabet book called "An A. B. C. of Everyday People" by G. E. Farrow. The captivating portrait showcases a peculiar encounter between two individuals - a stern-faced elderly lady and a timid servant girl donning an apron and holding a broom. Dressed in traditional British attire, their clothing reflects the era's fashion sensibilities. Hassall's use of color adds depth to the scene while his unique sense of humor shines through, creating a bizarre yet thought-provoking composition. The juxtaposition of these contrasting characters invites us to ponder themes such as obedience, bullying, and daily life struggles. Metaphorically speaking, this artwork serves as a powerful commentary on societal dynamics during that time period. It captures the essence of meekness and subservience often expected from certain professions or classes within society. As we delve into this vintage treasure trove, it becomes evident that Hassall's work transcends mere illustration; it encapsulates an entire narrative within its frame. This print not only preserves history but also sparks our imagination as we contemplate the lives and stories behind these everyday people depicted in an unconventional manner.
