Gunpowder Discovered - A Satirical Journey through History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant and humorous colour lithograph, artist Arthur Moreland takes us on a comical journey back in time to witness the discovery of gunpowder. This delightful illustration is part of the collection "Humors of History" published around 1905. The scene depicts an uproarious moment as Friar Bacon, a renowned English scholar from the 13th century, accidentally stumbles upon gunpowder. With his eyes wide open and mouth agape in astonishment, he holds up a smoking flask while surrounded by a group of bewildered onlookers. Moreland's satirical drawing cleverly combines elements of visual comedy with historical references. The cartoon-like style adds to the overall light-heartedness, making it an enjoyable piece for all ages. This artwork not only tickles our funny bone but also offers insight into how humor has been used throughout history to poke fun at significant events and personalities. It serves as a reminder that even serious moments can be seen through a comedic lens. With its witty portrayal and vivid colours, "Gunpowder Discovered" captures both the essence of English history and the universal appeal of satire. Whether you are interested in European culture or simply appreciate good-natured jokes, this print will surely bring laughter and joy to any space it adorns.
