EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolitho print titled "Policeman telling-off Boys, New Year Card" we are transported back to the 19th century where mischievous boys find themselves in a frosty predicament. The scene unfolds on a frozen lake, with the icy cold serving as a backdrop for an unexpected encounter between these scoundrels and a stern officer of the law. The naughty boys, perhaps celebrating Hogmanay or eagerly welcoming the new year, have found themselves on thin ice - both literally and figuratively. As they engage in their winter mischief, their joyous celebration is abruptly halted by the arrival of this constabulary figure. With his authoritative presence and no-nonsense demeanor, the policeman takes it upon himself to discipline these wayward youngsters. His words echo through the crisp winter air as he delivers a firm telling-off that leaves no room for negotiation. This New Year card serves as a cautionary reminder that even amidst celebrations and jubilation, one must always be mindful of boundaries and respect authority. It encapsulates both the innocence of childhood mischief and society's need for order. As we gaze upon this vintage print from our private collection, we are reminded of how traditions evolve over time but certain values remain constant. Let us celebrate this glad new year with gratitude for those who uphold justice while cherishing moments of youthful exuberance – all captured within this frozen tableau on a wintry day long ago.
