EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical print from the Georgian era, we are transported back in time to witness a comical scene unfold. A rather uncomfortable-looking man is attempting the seemingly impossible task of riding a cow, much to the amusement of a group of rural maidens. The man's awkward position on the bucking livestock elicits sneers and giggles from the women who surround him. This delightful artwork is part of R. Caldecott's Second Collection of Pictures and Songs, showcasing his talent for capturing humorous moments in everyday life. Drawn by Randolph Caldecott and engraved by E. Evans, this print was published by George Routledge & Sons in London and New York around 1885. The image transports us to an era where simple pleasures brought joy to people's lives. It reminds us that laughter knows no boundaries or time periods; it transcends generations and cultures. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost hear the playful banter between the milkmaid and her companions as they revel in witnessing such an amusing spectacle. Whitemay Fine Art Storehouse has beautifully preserved this snapshot from history, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its ability to bring a smile to our faces even after all these years. Whether displayed as a standalone piece or as part of a collection, this print serves as a charming reminder that sometimes it's okay to embrace silliness and find joy in unexpected places
