EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing coloured engraving titled "Take care of your pockets" we are transported back to the 19th century, where a hint for the Orthodox is cleverly depicted. The scene unfolds with a bishop at the forefront, seemingly unaware of his surroundings. Behind him, two prominent figures eagerly trail along - none other than the Duke of Wellington and Robert Peel. Humorously captured in this satirical artwork, these men appear determined to pickpocket the unsuspecting bishop's pockets. It serves as a comical reminder for individuals to be cautious and protect their belongings. The artist skillfully portrays this cautionary tale through intricate details and playful expressions on each character's face. The vibrant colours add depth to the print, enhancing its visual appeal. This thought-provoking image invites us to reflect on themes such as trust, deception, and personal responsibility. It reminds us that even those we admire or hold in high regard may not always have our best interests at heart. "Take care of your pockets" is an engaging piece that combines historical context with subtle humor. Its timeless message resonates beyond its era, urging viewers to remain vigilant in an ever-changing world where one's possessions can easily be taken away if not guarded carefully.
