EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Proverbs Improved: Pride Goes Before A Fall" transports us to a world of traditional wisdom and common sense. The colour lithograph, created by Grace H. May in the early 20th century, beautifully illustrates the age-old proverb with its vivid hues and intricate details. The image depicts a scene from May's book, "Proverbs Improved" which features twenty-four coloured pictures accompanied by verses written by Frederic Chapman. In this particular illustration, we witness the consequences of pride as a figure tumbles down from a great height, symbolizing the inevitable downfall that follows excessive self-importance. With its origins in English folklore, this proverb has transcended borders and resonates with people across Europe. It serves as a reminder that no matter our cultural background or nationality – be it German or any other – pride can lead to one's undoing if not kept in check. As we delve into this thought-provoking artwork captured within Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the universal nature of human experience and how proverbs like these continue to hold relevance even today. Through artistry and visual storytelling, May's lithograph invites us to reflect on our own lives and embrace humility as an essential virtue for personal growth.
