EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing engraving titled "A Pleasant Way to Lose an Eye" we are transported back to the 19th century, where a peculiar scene unfolds before our eyes. The English School artist masterfully captures a moment that is both captivating and slightly unnerving. The image showcases a bustling street in London, with its cobblestone paths and charming architecture serving as the backdrop. Amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, we witness an unusual occurrence - a man engaged in what appears to be an unconventional method of eye care. With his eye closed shut, he seems unperturbed by the presence of another gentleman who holds up a small instrument towards him. Perhaps it is some sort of treatment or remedy for ocular ailments? The ambiguity surrounding this scene leaves us questioning whether this procedure is indeed pleasant or merely a nuisance. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that there is more than meets the eye (pun intended). It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly ordinary moments, there can exist extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered. This print from Fine Art Finder invites us to explore history through art's lens and ponder upon the mysteries concealed within its strokes.
