EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Not to be Disconcerted (engraving)" captures a satirical cartoon from the 19th century. This humorous and amusing artwork, part of the private collection, showcases the wit and cleverness of English School artists. The cartoon depicts a scene in a park in London where confusion reigns supreme. In this satirical drawing, we see a mother pushing her child's pram along what seems to be the Suez Canal. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that there has been a hilarious mistake - they are actually on the Regents Canal! The Regent and x92 sign adds to the confusing atmosphere. The artist's intention is clear: to poke fun at human folly and highlight our tendency to become disconcerted by simple misunderstandings. Through this scathing satire, they remind us not to take ourselves too seriously. This caricature perfectly captures the absurdity of everyday life with its witty commentary on societal norms and expectations. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of confusion or stupidity, laughter can be found. "Not to be Disconcerted (engraving)" is an excellent example of how art can use humor and satire to shed light on our human foibles while providing entertainment for generations past and present.
