EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Thou shalt do no manner of work - thou, nor thy cattle" takes us back to the 19th century with its timeless charm. The image showcases a bustling crowd amidst an architectural marvel, capturing a moment frozen in time. The scene is filled with people going about their daily lives, dressed in fashionably elegant clothing of the era. A carriage drawn by horses stands prominently in the foreground, while a whip-wielding beedle directs his attention towards them. The presence of livestock adds to the authenticity of this snapshot from history. The intricate details etched into this print allow us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also the significance behind it. The title itself alludes to biblical commandments that restrict both humans and animals from engaging in any form of labor on certain days. As we delve deeper into this artwork's narrative, we are transported to an era where societal norms dictated strict adherence to religious principles. This engraving serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined faith was with everyday life during that period. Intriguingly captured by an unknown English School artist and now part of a private collection, this print invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with work and rest. It offers a glimpse into history while leaving room for personal interpretation and contemplation.
