EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and whimsical coloured engraving titled "Bother these loose stones! Oh lack-a-daisy me!", we are transported to the bustling streets of 19th century England. The image captures a moment of frustration and mischief as a well-dressed gentleman navigates his way through a puddle-filled road, with loose stones causing him great annoyance. The attention to detail in the fashion and clothing of the era is evident, showcasing the intricate designs and styles that were popular at the time. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to every element in the scene, from the gentleman's dapper attire to the glistening reflections on each stone. The title itself adds an amusing touch, with its playful reference to "lack-a-daisy" expressing both exasperation and surprise. It also alludes to Honi soit qui mal y pense, which translates to "Shame on him who thinks evil of it" suggesting that even small inconveniences can lead us astray if we let them bother us too much. This print serves as a delightful window into 19th-century street life, reminding us that no matter how refined our clothing or composed our demeanor may be, sometimes even something as simple as loose stones can disrupt our day.
