EDITORS COMMENTS
Proverbs Improved: You May Take A Horse To The Water But You Cannot Make Him Drink (colour litho) captures the essence of a timeless saying in an exquisite piece of art. This vibrant print, created by Grace H. May in the early 1900s, showcases her talent for combining visual beauty with thought-provoking messages. The illustration depicts a picturesque scene where a horse stands at the edge of a crystal-clear stream, surrounded by lush greenery. The horse's reluctance to drink from the water is evident, symbolizing the human tendency to resist guidance or advice despite being presented with opportunities. This artwork serves as a reminder of the universal truth embedded within this proverb - that one can provide all necessary resources and encouragement but cannot force someone to act against their will. It speaks to our common sense and experiences, resonating across cultures and languages. May's collaboration with Frederic Chapman adds another layer of depth to this piece. The verses written around the image further emphasize the wisdom behind this proverb and invite viewers to reflect on its meaning in their own lives. As we admire this print, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to convey profound truths through imagery. Proverbs Improved: You May Take A Horse To The Water But You Cannot Make Him Drink invites us to ponder upon our own resistance or hesitations when faced with opportunities for growth.
