EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled ""I don't allow children here!"" captures a scene of unfriendliness in an early 20th-century setting. The print, created by the English School, depicts a stern-looking man standing outside his house with two dogs by his side. His unwelcoming demeanor is emphasized by the bold text engraved below him. In this intriguing artwork, it becomes evident that children are not welcome near this particular residence. The artist's intention seems to be highlighting the clash between generations or perhaps portraying a grumpy character who prefers solitude over youthful exuberance. The composition suggests a park-like environment as trees can be seen in the background, hinting at potential play areas for children nearby. However, the child depicted in the image stands at a distance from both the house and its inhabitant, seemingly excluded from any interaction. This print raises questions about societal attitudes towards children during that time period and serves as a reminder of how perspectives have evolved over time. It also prompts reflection on themes such as exclusion, unfriendliness, and generational gaps. "I don't allow children here!" is an evocative piece of art that invites viewers to contemplate these complex dynamics while appreciating its artistic value through intricate engravings and attention to detail.
