EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cleanliness. The Stork" showcases the majestic Stork or Marabout bird, highlighting its role as a valuable ally in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. Dating back to around 1900, this artwork is part of a series that aimed to explain the positive qualities of animals. The image depicts a group of storks gracefully standing near a stream, symbolizing their dedication to exploring water bodies and searching through rubbish for snakes, rats, and mice – all notorious carriers of disease. With their natural instincts for sanitation, these elegant creatures become essential agents in preserving cleanliness within their environment. Created by the French School in the late 19th century, this print exemplifies both artistic finesse and educational value. It was originally published as part of an Epinal imaging project called "The good qualities of animals explained" translated by Gilbert. Measuring 25.5x18.5 cm and held in a private collection today, this artwork captures the essence of early twentieth-century artistry while emphasizing nature's contribution to public health. The composition beautifully combines elements such as birds, streams, and rubbish piles against a backdrop reminiscent of a town square or public square. Through its portrayal of these remarkable avian creatures fulfilling their vital role as sanitation agents, this print serves as an enduring reminder that even seemingly ordinary beings can play extraordinary roles in maintaining cleanliness and safeguarding our well-being.
