EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Saturday Evening, 1795" by William Redmore Bigg takes us back in time to a picturesque rural scene. This color engraving beautifully depicts the daily life of a working-class family during the Georgian era. The husbandman, exhausted from his labor, is seen returning home with his trusty tools - a spade and pickaxe - slung over his shoulder. His wife and children eagerly await his arrival outside their charming cottage. Surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, this idyllic countryside setting showcases the simplicity and tranquility of rural life. Pigs roam freely nearby while a bird perches on a tree branch above, adding to the peaceful ambiance of this scene. A curious cat also makes an appearance, observing the family's activities. This family portrait captures not only the physical aspects of their lives but also their strong bond and connection to nature. It serves as a reminder that despite their humble circumstances, they find joy in each other's company and take pride in honest work. Engraved by William Nutter with meticulous detail, this artwork offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but still resonates today as it celebrates hard work, love for family, and appreciation for one's surroundings.
