EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print captures the essence of a well-known proverb: "While the cat is away, the mice will play". Created by Grace H. May in the early 1900s, this colour litho artwork showcases her talent for combining visual art with written verse. The image depicts a mischievous scene where a group of mice take advantage of their feline absence to engage in playful activities. Each mouse has its own distinct personality, adding charm and character to the composition. The bright colors and intricate details bring this timeless saying to life, making it relatable across cultures and generations. May's work was part of a larger collection titled "Proverbs Improved" which aimed to illustrate traditional proverbs through captivating visuals accompanied by verses penned by Frederic Chapman. This particular piece exemplifies how common sense and experience are often reflected in popular wisdom passed down through generations. Although rooted in English tradition, this print transcends borders as it resonates with people from all walks of life. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its enduring appeal and artistic merit. Whether displayed as an inspirational reminder or appreciated for its aesthetic value alone, this print serves as a delightful conversation starter that celebrates both cultural diversity and universal truths.
