EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolitho print titled "His Only Pair" we are transported to a humble kitchen where a young boy sits attentively by the fireplace. The worn-out trousers he holds in his hands tell a story of care and mending, reminding us of the timeless proverb, "a stitch in time saves nine". The attention to detail is remarkable as every tear and mend on the trousers is delicately portrayed. It's evident that this garment holds great significance for the boy, perhaps being his only pair. As he sits next to his grandmother and mother, their presence signifies love and support. The warm glow from the stove adds an intimate atmosphere to this scene of domesticity. The umbrella hanging by the door hints at protection against inclement weather outside, while also symbolizing resilience amidst life's challenges. This 19th-century illustration was originally featured in Pen and Pencil magazine, showcasing its artistic value even during that era. Now preserved in a private collection, it continues to captivate viewers with its poignant portrayal of everyday life. "His Only Pair" serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards preserving what we have and cherishing those who care for us. It invites contemplation on themes such as family bonds, resourcefulness, and gratitude for simple necessities like clothing – all beautifully captured within this single image brought to life by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection.
