EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Rene Bull captures the essence of an Eastern proverb: "He who speaks the truth should have one foot in the stirrup". The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this age-old saying to life. The image depicts a figure, presumably a wise individual, standing with one foot in a stirrup while holding onto the reins of a majestic horse. The symbolism is profound - it suggests that speaking the truth requires readiness and courage, as if one must be prepared to ride away swiftly after uttering their honest words. Published as part of a set of cigarette cards on Eastern Proverbs, this artwork offers an educational glimpse into different cultures and their wisdom. It serves as a reminder that proverbs hold timeless truths applicable across borders and generations. Bull's skillful rendering transports us to another time and place, evoking curiosity about these enigmatic Eastern sayings. As we gaze upon this print, we are encouraged to reflect on our own relationship with honesty and integrity. Perhaps it prompts us to consider how often we speak our minds freely or whether fear holds us back from expressing our true thoughts. Incorporating this lithograph into any space would not only add aesthetic value but also serve as an inspirational reminder that speaking the truth is both noble and essential for personal growth.
