EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing engraving titled "There was an old Man of Stogumber" we are transported back to the whimsical world of the 19th century. This humorous artwork, part of a private collection, captures the essence of Victorian satire and amusement. The scene unfolds in a quaint bedroom adorned with traditional furniture and furnishings. The central figure, an elderly gentleman, is depicted in a comically wrong situation. As he peacefully slumbers on his bed, he is unexpectedly roused from his deep sleep by the shrill sound of a telephone. This unexpected intrusion into his peaceful slumber adds an element of surprise and humor to the composition. It seems that even in those days gone by, technology had its way of disrupting our tranquility! The artist's satirical approach shines through as we witness this amusing moment unfold before our eyes. With exquisite attention to detail and skillful execution, this engraving brings to life both the charm and absurdity often associated with Victorian humor. "There was an old Man of Stogumber" serves as a delightful reminder that laughter knows no boundaries or time periods. Whether it be today or centuries ago, funny situations can always bring joy to our lives – even if they involve telephones interrupting our much-needed rest!
