EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Do not remove a fly from your friend's head with a hatchet" by Rene Bull showcases an intriguing scene from early 20th-century Eastern Proverbs. The vibrant color lithograph, part of a set of cigarette cards published by Churchman, offers an educational glimpse into historical sayings and proverbs. The image depicts the cautionary proverb in action, reminding us of the importance of patience and gentle solutions to problems. A man is seen holding a hatchet while his friend stands nearby with a fly on his head. The illustration serves as a humorous yet thought-provoking reminder that extreme measures are unnecessary when dealing with minor inconveniences. The card's artistic style captures attention, drawing viewers into this whimsical moment frozen in time. It invites contemplation about our own actions and the wisdom behind ancient sayings passed down through generations. As we admire this piece from Bull's private collection, it sparks curiosity about other cultural proverbs and their meanings across different regions. This artwork serves as both entertainment and enlightenment, offering insight into diverse perspectives on friendship, problem-solving, and human interactions. With its rich history and visual appeal, this print provides an excellent opportunity for reflection on how we approach challenges in our own lives – perhaps encouraging us to find more peaceful ways to address even the smallest annoyances without resorting to drastic measures like using a hatchet!
