EDITORS COMMENTS
Bother the Buttons! (chromolitho) captures a whimsical moment in late 19th-century England, as depicted by an unknown English School artist. This charming chromolithograph, now part of a private collection, originally served as an illustration for Pen and Pencil magazine. In this delightful scene, we witness a comical interaction between a man and his wife. The man, wearing a stylish hat and spectacles, appears to be struggling with sewing buttons onto his shirt. His frustrated expression suggests that he is not particularly skilled in this domestic task. Meanwhile, his patient wife sits beside him with needle in hand, offering her assistance. The image exudes warmth and humor as it highlights the universal experience of mending clothes. The intricate details of the cotton fabric and carefully crafted button add depth to the artwork's narrative. Through its vivid colors and meticulous technique typical of chromolithography, "Bother the Buttons!" transports us back to an era where such everyday activities were celebrated through art. It reminds us that even mundane tasks can become moments of connection between loved ones. This print from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such illustrations and the timeless themes they explore.
