The Above Have Arrived
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous illustration by the renowned British cartoonist, H.M. Bateman, dated back to 1937. The image showcases a pivotal moment in the life of a new father as he reacts to the arrival of not one, but four newborn babies. A nurse or midwife, dressed in white, cradles the quadruplets gently, all red-faced and crying, in a scene that embodies the chaos and excitement of a multiple birth. The father, with a bright green and yellow face, is shown leaning back in a chair for support, his eyes bulging in shock and disbelief. His expression is one of a scream, as if he has just been presented with an unexpected and overwhelming piece of news. The illustration masterfully captures the raw emotion and surprise that comes with the arrival of multiple babies. The scene is further accentuated by the discarded items on the floor - a cigarette and "The Sporting Life" newspaper. These symbols of a past life, now forgotten, serve as a reminder of the profound impact that the arrival of new life can have on a person. The illustration is a testament to the joy, surprise, and chaos that comes with the arrival of newborn babies, especially when they arrive in multiples. "The Above Have Arrived" is a charming and humorous illustration that beautifully captures the essence of new parenthood, and the unexpected twists and turns that life can take. This classic piece of art is a must-see for anyone who has experienced the joy and surprise of welcoming new life into the world.
