EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Old Welsh Woman" transports us back to the late 19th century. The photograph, taken by an anonymous British photographer of that era, captures the essence of a proud and weathered Welsh woman. Part of a series called People of Europe cigarette cards produced by Anstie in 1925, this print was once part of a popular collector's item during the golden age of cigarette cards. These small pieces were not only sought after for their entertainment value but also served as sources of instruction and amusement before television and radio became widespread. In this image, the elderly woman sits gracefully at a table adorned with cups and a teapot while she skillfully knits away on her shawl. Her traditional dress showcases stripes that add vibrancy to her attire, complementing her warm smile beneath an elegant hat. The advertisement-like quality adds another layer to this vintage card's charm. It serves as both a marketing tool for Anstie's brand and an artistic representation celebrating Welsh culture. Now preserved in a private collection, this engraving from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate the beauty and heritage captured within its frame. It reminds us how art can transcend time, providing glimpses into history while evoking emotions that resonate with viewers even today.
