"Blame: Unraveling the Threads of Responsibility" In a world filled with complexities, blame often becomes a tangled web. Just like Amy Johnson navigating through her music sheet, trying to decipher who is at fault can be an intricate task. Mrs F G Kimberley's thought-provoking piece, "Was She To Blame?", reminds us that assigning blame requires careful consideration. Sometimes, blaming others may seem as futile as The Monkey and the Cat arguing over spilled milk. Yet, in Weber's opera "Freischutz, " Liebig6 teaches us that consequences cannot be ignored; someone must bear responsibility. Delving into history reveals intriguing dynamics of blame. In the Chamber of Cupid and Psyche from 1526-1528, Venus scolds Eros for his mischievous actions – highlighting how even deities grapple with accountability. The wounded soldier's angry reaction to Empress Augusta Victoria during World War I demonstrates that placing they are evoke strong emotions. However, it is essential to remember that anger alone does not solve problems but rather perpetuates them. Amidst life's challenges lies the pursuit of happiness – just like depicted in "The Happy Man" engraving. Sometimes we tend to attribute our woes externally without introspection or self-reflection - Cynicus' satirical litho warns against this tendency. Of course, when things go awry during certain seasons or circumstances, it may be tempting to point fingers instead of seeking solutions together - as shown in the humorous engraving titled "Of Course its the Season thats to Blame. " Comic postcards humorously capture moments where individuals try shifting responsibility away from themselves - whether it's a little boy sitting on a doorstep or two drunks stumbling down the street. These serve as reminders that blaming others rarely leads to resolution. Ultimately, John Hassall's work titled "Circumstantial Evidences" urges us not only to consider blame but also the evidence supporting it.
