Admire, but Touch not
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of enchantment and temptation. In this 19th-century colour litho print by the English School, we are invited into a world where a young girl's curiosity is piqued by two adorable creatures - a fluffy kitten and a graceful goldfish swimming in its bowl. The composition exudes an air of natural beauty as the girl delicately holds her palms together, resisting the urge to touch these mesmerizing animals. The juxtaposition between the domestic cat and the wildlife symbolizes our innate connection with nature, reminding us to admire its wonders without disrupting their delicate balance. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to each individual whisker on the kitten's face and capturing the shimmering scales of the goldfish. This illustration originally appeared in Chatterbox magazine in 1897, offering readers an exquisite visual feast that continues to captivate audiences today. As we gaze upon this charming scene, it serves as a gentle reminder that sometimes admiration from afar can be just as fulfilling as physical interaction. "Admire, but Touch not" invites us to appreciate nature's beauty while respecting its boundaries – an enduring lesson that resonates across time and generations.
