EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "You are requested to keep the Hall Doors shut on Account of the Animals in the Park" transports us back to a time filled with mystery and humor. The drawing, created by Samuel Edmund Waller in 1895, depicts a true incident that occurred in a country house. As we gaze at this enchanting print, we discover an array of animals causing quite a commotion within the grand hall. A group of mischievous pigs can be seen bumping into furniture while horses sit nearby with an air of indignation. In one corner, a fearful cat is heard spitting at the frenzied scene unfolding before her eyes. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; from the acorn-obsessed squirrels scurrying across the floor to several curious kittens exploring every nook and cranny. This lively engraving captures not only domestic cats but also various wildlife animals adding an element of wild life within these elegant interiors. The caption hints at a mysterious event that led to this chaotic scene - perhaps some unknown force turned these peaceful creatures into agents of chaos? We are left wondering what exactly transpired in this country house lobby that prompted such alarm and amusement. Intriguing and humorous, this lithograph invites us into its world where difficulty meets laughter amidst unexpected encounters with nature's creatures. It serves as both a reminder of our connection with wildlife and an amusing anecdote for those who appreciate artful storytelling through imagery.
