Keeping It Dark: A Humorous Take on Domestic Discord During the 1927 Solar Eclipse This print, titled "Keeping It Dark: Mrs. Blotchet (after watching a violent drive by her husband during the eclipse of the sun)," offers a humorous glimpse into the world of domestic strife and mishaps. The image, created in 1927, depicts a determined golfer, his face etched with concentration, taking a swing that would change the course of cosmic history. Mrs. Blotchet, the unseen protagonist, watches in disbelief as her husband's misjudged shot sends a sizeable hole through the moon's surface. The moon, once a radiant beacon of light, is now marred with a dark blemish, reflecting the discord and chaos unfolding on Earth. The print, courtesy of the estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson and Pollinger Ltd., was originally published in the Illustrated London News and later in Mary Evan's book, "Pictures and the Paper." The humorous illustration not only captures the essence of a husband's clumsy mishap but also highlights the impact of such events on the natural world. As the solar eclipse casts an eerie darkness over the scene, Mrs. Blotchet's wry observation, "Well, I knew he'd knock a hole in something before he'd finished," adds a layer of irony and humor to the situation. This historical print not only showcases the whimsical side of domestic life but also offers a unique perspective on the 1927 solar eclipse, an event that continues to fascinate and captivate audiences to this day.
