EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Tamil proverb with its humorous and thought-provoking imagery. Titled "There are some who take up the battle-axe and there are others who stop tigers, but givers are scarce" this 1932 colour litho by Rene Bull is part of a private collection. The image showcases two contrasting figures: a rich man holding a battle-axe and a poor beggar stopping an approaching tiger. However, it is not their actions that hold significance here; rather, it is the concept of generosity that takes center stage. The caption reminds us that while warriors and protectors may be aplenty, those willing to give selflessly are few. Originally featured on a cigarette card from the Churchman series of Eastern Proverbs, this vintage artwork was once immensely popular as both collector items and sources of instruction, entertainment, and amusement in an era before television and radio dominated our lives. With its blend of wisdom, humor, psychology, philosophy, and folk wisdom all rolled into one captivating image, this print serves as an educational reminder about the value of generosity in our lives. It prompts us to reflect on how we can become true givers amidst life's battles - whether they involve wielding axes or confronting tigers.
