EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Up into the tree hur gets" takes us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century chapbooks. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 18th century and reproduced in John Ashton's Chap-books of the Eighteenth Century in 1882, this print offers a glimpse into a satirical tale called The Welch Traveller, or The Unfortunate Welchman by Humphrey Cornish. The scene depicted is filled with tension and humor. A mischievous thief, portrayed as a caricatured Welshman, finds himself in quite a predicament as he hides up an apple tree. His face reveals hunger mixed with fear as he throws stones at an angry farmer who discovered his thieving ways. This woodcut illustration cleverly captures both the physical action and emotional intensity of this comical encounter. With its intricate details and skillful engraving technique, this print showcases the artistry prevalent during the 18th century. It serves as a testament to the popularity of chapbooks - small booklets containing popular stories or ballads - which were widely enjoyed by people from all walks of life. As we gaze upon this facsimile from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported to another time where satire mingled with social commentary. Through its vivid portrayal of human emotions such as anger and hunger, this artwork reminds us that even centuries later, our fundamental feelings remain unchanged across time and cultures.
