Grasp All and Lose All
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a popular British proverb encapsulated in this evocative and thought-provoking lantern slide from the late 1890s. Created by C.H. Spurgeon, a renowned British Particular Baptist preacher, this black and white painted scene depicts a granary overrun by mice, making holes in the sacks of corn. The title "Grasp All and Lose All" is inscribed at the bottom, serving as a poignant reminder of the potential consequences of greed and overreaching. This proverb, deeply rooted in traditional English folklore and wisdom, has been passed down through generations. It signifies that attempting to possess or control everything can ultimately lead to losing it all. The image of mice, with their insatiable hunger and destructive nature, serves as a visual metaphor for the perils of greed. The lantern slide, part of the extensive Box 197 Sayings collection in the Boswell Collection, is a testament to the enduring power of proverbs and their ability to convey timeless truths. The intricate painting style and attention to detail in the image further underscore the artistic and historical significance of this piece. C.H. Spurgeon, a prolific writer and preacher, is known for his extensive work on John Ploughman's Pictures, a series of illustrations meant to elucidate biblical truths. This particular slide, while not directly related to religious themes, is a powerful reminder of the wisdom found in everyday experiences and the importance of moderation and contentment. This lantern slide, with its rich history and evocative imagery, offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring relevance of proverbs in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
