EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "There are some who take up the battle-axe, and there are others who stop tigers, but givers are scarce" by Rene Bull depicts a thought-provoking scene that transports us to the early 20th century. This exquisite colour lithograph is part of a set of cigarette cards on the subject of Eastern Proverbs, published by Churchman. In this particular image, we witness an intriguing juxtaposition between different roles in society. On one hand, there are those who courageously wield battle-axes, symbolizing strength and determination in facing challenges head-on. On the other hand, we see individuals fearlessly stopping tigers with their bare hands, representing bravery and resourcefulness. However, what truly captures our attention is the profound message conveyed through these powerful visuals: givers are scarce. This proverbial saying reminds us that while many may possess physical prowess or display acts of heroism when faced with danger or adversity, it is rare to find individuals who selflessly give without expecting anything in return. The artwork invites contemplation on the value of generosity and compassion within our communities. It prompts us to reflect upon how we can become more giving individuals ourselves – not just warriors or protectors but also caring souls willing to extend a helping hand without hesitation. Overall, Bull's masterful illustration serves as both an educational tool and a reminder for all viewers about the scarcity of true givers in our world.
