Oh dear, no, I'm not conceited
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the mannerisms of a spoiled and unpleasant boy from the 19th century. This historical engraving by English School reveals the egoism and pride that can be found even in children. The young boy, dressed impeccably in his waistcoat and hat, exudes an air of conceit as he stands with his hands on his hips. The image transports us back to a time when being stuck-up was not only frowned upon but also seen as snooty behavior. Despite his tender age, this child seems to have mastered the art of arrogance. His expression suggests that he believes himself superior to others around him. This print serves as a reminder that conceit is not limited to adults; it can manifest at any age. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this spoilt child's character through intricate details such as his haughty gaze and smug smile. While we may chuckle at this depiction today, it serves as a testament to human nature throughout history. Whether one is born into privilege or simply possesses an inflated sense of self-importance, pride has always had its place within society. This engraving invites us to reflect on our own attitudes towards humility and reminds us that even children are susceptible to succumbing to their own vanity.
