EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "What right have you in my steel trap?" takes us back to the 19th century, where humor and wit were beautifully captured through art. This black and white illustration, created by an English School artist, showcases a comical encounter between a trapper and an unexpected visitor. In this scene, we witness the trapper's surprise as he discovers someone caught in his steel trap. The expression on his face is priceless – a mix of confusion and amusement. The engraver skillfully portrays the absurdity of the situation, inviting viewers to ponder what led this unsuspecting individual into such a predicament. The artwork was originally published as an illustration for The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1838. It perfectly encapsulates the light-hearted nature of comedic literature during that era. With its clever use of visual storytelling, it tickles our funny bone while also reminding us of the unpredictable twists life can throw at us. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also provides insight into historical humor and entertainment preferences. As we gaze upon this delightful piece, we are transported back to a time when laughter was cherished just as much as any other form of artistry.
