EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Appropriation Clause" captures a humorous scene filled with chaos and destruction. The illustration depicts a man sitting at a table set for dinner, surrounded by various pieces of furniture and home furnishings. However, the focus of the image is on a mischievous cat or kitten that has taken over the scene. The feline protagonist can be seen standing on top of the tablecloth, pawing at plates and knocking over glasses. With an air of mischief in its eyes, it seems determined to demolish everything in its path. The man's expression shows his surprise and frustration as he tries to salvage what remains of his supper. The artist skillfully portrays this comical moment through detailed engravings that capture both the movement of the cat and the intricate details of each object in the room. The use of black and white adds to the vintage charm while emphasizing contrasts between light and shadow. This print not only showcases artistic talent but also provides insight into daily life during this era. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, animals could bring unexpected humor and chaos into our lives.
