EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sick on a Holiday" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of childhood suffering. Created by an English School artist, this print showcases a young boy in distress during what should have been a joyful holiday. The intricate details of the engraving draw our attention to the boy's toothache, symbolizing his pain and discomfort. His facial expression reveals his agony as he clutches his cheek, while his body language suggests vulnerability and helplessness. The image serves as an illustration for The Childs Companion and Juvenile Instructor from 1872, shedding light on the challenges faced by children during that era. It reminds us of how illness could easily disrupt their innocent enjoyment and playfulness. Through this artwork, we are transported into a world where medicine was still evolving, with limited resources available to alleviate suffering. The artist skillfully captures not only physical pain but also the emotional toll it takes on a child's spirit. As we gaze upon this evocative piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the fragility of health even during moments meant for relaxation and joy. This engraving stands as a testament to both human resilience in times of sickness and our ongoing pursuit of better medical care for all generations.
