EDITORS COMMENTS
New Lamps for Old, 1901: A Captivating Glimpse into the Arabian Nights". In this enchanting print titled "New Lamps for Old". Joseph Edward Southall transports us to a world of magic and wonder inspired by the timeless tale of Aladdin from One Thousand and One Nights. The composition showcases a group of distinguished individuals, each playing a role in this scene. From left to right, we see the artist himself alongside Arthur Gaskin as the mysterious Magician. Charles March Gere stands tall while Mrs F. Wood embodies Aladdin's devoted wife. William Littleboy, Alderman White, Joseph Sturge, Anna Elizabeth Baker, John E. Baker (portraying Scheherazade), and Alderman Baker complete this remarkable cast. Notably, all but three were prominent Quakers in Birmingham and close friends or relatives of Southall. The painting exudes an exotic atmosphere with its vibrant colors and intricate details. Peacock feathers adorn headgear while an oil lamp takes center stage as a symbol of wishes granted through supernatural powers. Southall's artistic style reflects elements of Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with meticulous attention to detail and rich symbolism. This masterpiece now resides at the Birmingham Museum Art Gallery under the care of Birmingham Museums Trust. "New Lamps for Old" invites viewers on a journey through time and imagination—a testament to both Southall's skill as an artist and his deep appreciation for literature that continues to captivate audiences even today.
