Like Master, Like Valet
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating Belgian proverb depicted in this vintage photograph from the early 1900s. The image, believed to be taken around 1908, captures the essence of this age-old saying through an intriguing scene of a man and his servant. The photograph features a well-dressed man, with an air of superiority and snobbishness, holding a glass of mint rickey, a popular alcoholic beverage of the time. His valet, attentively standing behind him, mirrors his master's posture and expression, holding a nearly identical glass. The subtle yet noticeable resemblance between the two men highlights the proverb's meaning: "The valet is like his master." This proverb, deeply rooted in Belgian culture, emphasizes the idea that those in inferior positions often adopt the behaviors, mannerisms, and even the appearance of their superiors. It serves as a reminder of the powerful influence that one can have on another and the importance of setting a good example. The black-and-white photograph, with its intricate details and rich history, transports us back to a time when such proverbs held significant meaning in everyday life. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, proverbs, or sayings. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to reflect on the enduring nature of human relationships and the impact of our actions on those around us.
