EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "How I obtained Two Curates, and how I lost Two Daughters" captures a moment of intrigue and humor from the 19th century. In this whimsical illustration for The Graphic, published on January 3rd, 1891, we are transported to a scene filled with smoke and confusion. The image depicts a clergyman's study adorned with hall furniture as he receives letters from interested applicants for the position of curate. With tables piled high with correspondence, the overwhelmed clergyman finds himself in quite a predicament. His wife sits nearby in quiet contemplation while two young daughters playfully add to the chaos. Amidst all the difficulty in finding suitable candidates, one gentlemanly young man catches their attention. Undecided about whom to choose, the clergyman writes back to persuade him further. Meanwhile, another applicant declines their offer after attending an interview. As we delve into this fascinating print by English School artists from the 19th century, we witness not only the challenges faced by clergymen but also gain insight into society's expectations during that era. The engraving offers us a glimpse into religious roles and orders as well as explores themes of family dynamics and decision-making processes. This artwork invites us to reflect on our own experiences of seeking out individuals who can fill important positions in our lives or organizations. It reminds us that sometimes unexpected twists and turns occur along this journey - just like losing two daughters amidst obtaining two curates!
