Small Things Amuse Small Minds, 1872
Small Things Amuse Small Minds, 1872. The rain falls as Mr and Mrs Jessamy shelter under a huge umbrella whilst watering their carefully tended garden. The Victorian period was one of many inventions, the garden hose amongst them. It was only recently that water supplies were sufficient to allow such labour saving devices to be used. Not even the weather would prevent this couple from trying out a new household purchase. From Punch, or the London Charivari, June 15, 1872

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Small Things Amuse Small Minds, 1872" we are transported back to the Victorian era. The rain pours down relentlessly as Mr and Mrs Jessamy seek refuge under a colossal umbrella while tending to their meticulously cared for garden. This artwork, originally featured in Punch, or the London Charivari, captures the essence of an age filled with innovation. During this period, numerous inventions emerged, including the garden hose which revolutionized household chores. With improved water supplies becoming more readily available, individuals could now utilize labor-saving devices like never before. Undeterred by the inclement weather, our determined couple eagerly tests out their new acquisition. This cartoon-like engraving serves as a satirical commentary on domestic life in Victorian society. It humorously portrays how even adverse weather conditions cannot hinder one's enthusiasm for trying out novel household purchases. The artist George du Maurier skillfully depicts both male and female characters engaging in these everyday activities with great endurance. As we gaze upon this heritage image partnership print from 19th-century England, it transports us into a world where small pleasures bring immense joy amidst challenging circumstances. Let us marvel at the resilience of these individuals who found delight in simple tasks such as gardening despite being drenched by rainfall.
