EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous coloured engraving titled "Save-all" captures the essence of mid-19th century thrift and resourcefulness. Created by Charles Henry Bennett, this print is part of a private collection and was featured in the book "Shadow and Substance" written by Bennett and Robert B Brough in 1860. The image depicts a scene filled with caricatures of various personalities engaged in different occupations. The central figure is a comical character sitting on a stool, carefully collecting every bit of wax from burning candles to make soup. This satirical drawing highlights the importance of not wasting anything, even down to the smallest remnants. The artist's attention to detail shines through as he portrays each individual with their own unique traits and quirks. From Scottish figures enjoying their mealtime to Victorian types engaging in entertaining conversations, this print offers an amusing glimpse into society during that era. With its clever play on shadows and light, "Save-all" showcases both artistic skill and social commentary. It serves as a reminder that being thrifty was highly valued at the time, emphasizing the need for reusing materials rather than letting them go to waste. Overall, this satirical cartoon provides an entertaining yet scathing satire on wastage while offering insight into daily life during the mid-19th century.
