EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Call this an Exhibition!" takes us back to the 19th century, where English School artists brilliantly captured a moment of comic brilliance. The image showcases a humorous scene from Merry Pictures by the Comic Hands, published in 1857 by W Kent & Co. In this digitally cleaned engraving, we are transported to a world exhibition filled with animals who have taken on human-like qualities. With its blend of historical realism and clever humor, the artwork invites viewers to explore the amusing side of exhibitions and their critics. The mid-19th-century piece not only entertains but also offers subtle criticism towards the opinions and appreciation found within such events. Through anthropomorphism, these animal exhibitors playfully challenge traditional notions of what constitutes an exhibition. As we delve into this delightful composition, we can't help but appreciate how it captures both fun and wit within its frame. The playful interactions between various animal characters bring joy to our hearts while reminding us that laughter has no boundaries across time or species. "Call this an Exhibition!" is more than just a comic illustration; it serves as a testament to the enduring power of humor throughout history. This fine art print from Bridgeman Images allows us to cherish this timeless masterpiece for generations to come.
