EDITORS COMMENTS
In the quirky and humorous illustration "Cartoon, Out of Her Census, Another Decayed - Decade!," by Terry Parker from the April 1891 issue of a London journal, a woman ponders the relentless march of time. Dressed in the frilly attire of the late Victorian era, her thin and unattractive appearance belies the inner depth of her thoughts. The title of the cartoon, with its clever play on words, alludes to the census, the sense of counting and recording the passage of time, and the decay of another decade in her life. The woman's expression is a mix of seriousness and comic irony, as she seems to be both amused and dismayed by the passage of ten years. The artist, Terry Parker, masterfully captures the essence of ageing and the human condition with his witty and insightful cartoon. This print, a charming relic of the 1890s, invites us to reflect on the passage of time and the inevitable changes it brings.
