EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant 19th-century print by Isaac Robert Cruikshank, titled "Tom and Jerry, catching Kate and Sue on the fly, having their fortunes told" we are transported to a bustling scene filled with mischief and anticipation. The artwork captures a moment of divination as two young women, Kate and Sue, sit attentively while an old woman reads their fortunes through the cards. Behind a curtain, Tom and Jerry playfully try to attract the attention of Kate and Sue. Meanwhile, a pot simmers over the fire as delicious aromas fill the room. The old woman's bed is neatly folded against the wall, emphasizing her dedication to her craft even in modest living quarters. Her loyal feline companion sits beside her as she imparts ancient wisdom. The composition showcases intricate details of fashion from that era; bonnets adorn the heads of both women while Tom sports a stylish hat. The artist skillfully uses color to bring life to every element within this interior scene. This print not only offers us a glimpse into pastimes of leisure but also hints at themes of witchcraft and prophecy prevalent during that time period. Through his masterful storytelling ability, Cruikshank invites viewers into an enchanting world where fortune-telling becomes an exciting game played amidst daily routines. Isaac Robert Cruikshank's work continues to captivate audiences today with its whimsical charm and historical significance.
