EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Long Eared Man Scolds His Servant" takes us back to the late 19th century, when tales and legends from distant lands fascinated readers of The Strand Magazine. In this image, we are transported to Africa, where long-eared men were said to reside. According to popular belief, these enigmatic figures would sleep with one ear covering their bodies like a warm blanket while lying on the other. This peculiar characteristic adds an air of mystique and imagination to their existence. The photograph captures a moment of tension between the long-eared man and his servant. With his elongated ears standing tall as a symbol of authority, he scolds his subordinate for reasons unknown. The expressions on their faces reveal a complex dynamic that leaves viewers intrigued about the nature of their relationship. As we gaze at this black-and-white image, we are reminded of the power that storytelling holds in shaping our perception of different cultures and peoples. It serves as a reminder that myths and legends can both captivate our imaginations and perpetuate stereotypes. This print by Ken Welsh is not just a visual representation; it is an invitation to explore the rich tapestry of human history through art. It invites us into worlds unknown, sparking curiosity about far-off lands and reminding us that there is always more than meets the eye in every tale told.
