Boils Cheap Cigarette Eastern Proverbs Meat Proverb Saved Saying Sayings Smell
EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating color lithograph, titled "If you buy meat cheap, when it boils you smell what you have saved" by Rene Bull, offers a thought-provoking visual representation of an Eastern proverb. This intriguing artwork is part of a set of cigarette cards that were published by Churchman in the early 20th century. The image depicts a scene where boiling meat fills the air with an intense aroma. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this Eastern saying: if one chooses to purchase inexpensive meat, they will eventually experience the consequences through its pungent scent during cooking. The illustration serves as a reminder that sometimes saving money upfront may result in compromising quality or satisfaction later on. Bull's attention to detail and vibrant use of colors bring life to this historical piece. Each element within the composition contributes to conveying the message behind the proverb - from the facial expressions of those present, reflecting surprise and realization, to the steam rising from the pot symbolizing both heat and revelation. This print not only showcases artistic talent but also serves as an educational tool for viewers interested in exploring different cultures and their proverbs. It invites contemplation on our choices and encourages us to consider long-term implications rather than focusing solely on immediate gains. Overall, Bull's "If you buy meat cheap" provides a fascinating glimpse into history while offering valuable insights through its timeless wisdom encapsulated within Eastern proverbs.
