EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "An Unseen Presence" transports us back to a nostalgic scene from a 20th-century boarding school dormitory. The image captures the mischievous moment when two young boys are caught by their stern schoolmaster indulging in a forbidden late-night snack of cake. The tension and fear on the boys' faces as they realize they have been discovered is palpable, making us feel like we are witnessing this clandestine act firsthand.
The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable, from the intricate furnishings of the dormitory to the expressions on each character's face. The warm colors used in the print evoke a sense of coziness and familiarity, contrasting with the tense atmosphere of being caught breaking the rules.
As we gaze at this scene, we can almost hear the hushed whispers and rustling of bedsheets as these young boys navigate their way through an ordinary yet thrilling moment of rebellion. This Christmas greetings card serves as a reminder of simpler times and childhood innocence, capturing a timeless snapshot that resonates with viewers across generations.
