EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lantern slide, titled 'Favourite Sayings - The Cat's Foot,' is a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of traditional British sayings and proverbs. Dating back to the late 1890s, this intriguing image features a woman fiercely shaking her fist at a man, who is holding a jug and seems about to enter a pub with a painted background. The woman's stern expression and the ominous title suggest that the man may be in for a reprimand or warning, as the saying 'He lives under the sign of the cat's foot' implies that he is about to step into trouble. This slide is part of the extensive 'Box 197 Sayings' collection from the Boswell Collection, which was illustrated by the renowned British Particular Baptist preacher, C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892). Spurgeon's 'John Ploughman's Pictures' series aimed to make the Bible more accessible to the masses through the use of engaging and thought-provoking visual aids. This particular slide, with its evocative imagery and intriguing title, serves as a testament to the enduring power of proverbs and sayings in shaping our language and cultural consciousness. As we marvel at the intricacies of this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when the wisdom of the past was passed down through the spoken word and the power of a single image could capture the essence of a timeless truth.
