EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph by Alfred Rawlings, titled "Alas! the idle tale of man is found / Depicted in the dial's moral round," transports us to the serene garden of Padworth, Berks. The intricate sundial depicted in this artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the fleeting nature of human existence. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the profound message inscribed on the sundial: "Alas! the idle tale of man is found / Depicted in the dial's moral round." These words urge us to reflect on our own lives and actions, prompting us to consider how we spend our precious time on Earth. The vibrant colours and detailed composition draw us into this scene, inviting us to contemplate deeper truths about life and mortality. The juxtaposition of nature's beauty with man-made constructs like sundials reminds us of our place within the grand scheme of things. Through Rawlings' skilled hand, we are transported to a moment frozen in time, where contemplation and introspection reign supreme. This print serves as a timeless reminder that each passing moment is precious and should be cherished for what it truly is - a gift.
