EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing 19th-century print titled "How the editor of a Derby newspaper wished to treat the statuary" we catch a glimpse into the whimsical imagination of an editor who visited the International Exhibition. The image showcases a comical scene, as the editor contemplates how he would like to dress up and transform the exhibited statues. Amidst an array of magnificent sculptures, our protagonist is seen surrounded by various garments and accessories, pondering which outfit would best suit each statue's unique personality. With mischievous delight in his eyes, he envisions these stone figures adorned in fashionable attire that reflects contemporary trends. The print captures not only the editor's playful imagination but also hints at his desire to inject some humor into his newspaper's coverage of such serious events as international exhibitions. Perhaps he sought to alleviate any potential boredom or stuffiness associated with art exhibitions by envisioning these statues in unconventional clothing choices. While this lighthearted concept may have brought amusement and laughter to those who encountered it back in 1871 when it was published in The Days Doings newspaper, it also serves as a reminder that even esteemed works of art can be approached with creativity and levity. This delightful snapshot from history invites us to appreciate both fine craftsmanship and imaginative thinking while embracing unexpected moments of joy within artistic settings.
