Defying Gravity - When a Man Takes Stilts for a Spin!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by P. Morris, we witness an extraordinary feat of balance and audacity! Meet our daring protagonist, who has decided to conquer the untamed forces of nature in the most unconventional way possible - on stilts! As he fearlessly strides across a gushing stream, his wooden stilts elevate him above the rushing waters like some sort of mythical creature. With each step carefully calculated, he defies gravity itself, leaving us in awe of his skill and determination. This historical woodcut by Thomas Bewick transports us back to a time when adventure knew no bounds. It reminds us that even in simpler times, humans sought out thrilling experiences that pushed their limits. Walking on stilts may seem like child's play today, but back then it was an exhilarating endeavor reserved only for the boldest souls. The monochromatic tones add a touch of nostalgia to this mesmerizing scene as if whispering tales from long-forgotten days. The flowing river serves as both an obstacle and a symbol of life's challenges – yet our intrepid stilt-walker remains undeterred. So let this whimsical image inspire you to embrace your inner daredevil! Don't be afraid to take risks or find unconventional ways to navigate life's rivers – just remember not to mention commercial use while doing so!
