EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Selections from Seymour: No. 2, Why Sarah your drunk! I m quite ashamed o you" takes us back to the early 19th century in England. The hand-coloured engraving showcases a scene of raw emotion and societal struggles that were prevalent during that time. In this image, we see a dishevelled woman named Sarah who appears to have indulged in excessive alcohol consumption. Her ragged appearance and drunken state are evident as she leans against a pub wall, seemingly fallen over due to intoxication. The artist skillfully captures the essence of her alcoholism and portrays the consequences it has on her life. The depiction highlights not only Sarah's personal downfall but also sheds light on broader issues such as poverty and social inequality faced by many during this era. Through its intricate details, the engraving invites viewers to reflect upon the hardships endured by those living on society's margins. Despite her circumstances, there is an underlying message of acceptance within the caption - "Vell vots the odds, as long as you r happy". This phrase challenges conventional norms and suggests that happiness should be valued above all else, even if it means finding solace in temporary escapes like alcohol. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this artwork serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history while raising awareness about addiction and its impact on individuals' lives.
