EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "News, c1887" by Mortimer L Menpes takes us back to 19th century Japan. The image showcases a bustling street scene with a charming mix of people and architectural elements. In the foreground, we see three children - two boys and a girl - engrossed in the daily news as they hold up a lantern-adorned newspaper. Their youthful curiosity is palpable, capturing the essence of childhood innocence. The artist's skillful use of color brings vibrancy to this snapshot in time. The warm brown tones dominate the scene, creating an inviting atmosphere that transports viewers to this distant era. As our eyes wander further into the composition, we notice bystanders going about their day on this picturesque lane lined with traditional Japanese buildings. Menpes' attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork – from the intricate lighting patterns to the subtle expressions on each person's face. This print not only serves as a visual record but also offers insight into Japanese culture during that period. "News, c1887" is part of Menpes' larger collection called "From Japan - A Record in Colour" published by Adam & Charles Black in London in 1901. It stands as a testament to Menpes' talent for capturing moments frozen in time and preserving them for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
