The Ostriches Are Broken - The Thread Holds
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph from the 19th century, showcasing the artistic prowess of American School. This print, part of a private collection, was originally created as a trade card for J & P Coats cotton thread. In this whimsical scene, we see a young boy confidently driving a chariot pulled by two ostriches. However, upon closer inspection, we notice that these magnificent birds are broken and fragmented. Despite their apparent disarray, the thread connecting them remains unbroken and resilient. This image serves as an advertisement for J & P Coats cotton thread, symbolizing its strength and durability even in challenging circumstances. It speaks to the idea that no matter how broken or fragile something may seem on the surface, there is always hope and resilience to be found. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring life to the scene while capturing our attention with its unique subject matter. The juxtaposition of innocence (represented by the young boy) against fragility (depicted through the ostriches) creates an intriguing visual narrative. "The Ostriches Are Broken - The Thread Holds" reminds us of the power of perseverance and determination in overcoming obstacles. It showcases both artistry and advertising ingenuity from 19th-century America while leaving room for personal interpretation and reflection on themes such as strength amidst adversity.
