The Coracle - A Humorous Glimpse into Shipbuilding in Ancient England
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant and comical lithograph, titled "The Coracle. B. C. 99" takes us back to the year 99 BC with a satirical twist. Created by Arthur Moreland in the early 20th century, this artwork is part of the private collection and captures the essence of humor and visual storytelling. In this whimsical illustration for "Humors of History" we witness an amusing scene depicting ancient Britons engaged in shipbuilding using their unique coracles – small round boats made from basketwork. The artist's clever wit shines through as he pokes fun at both English and German cultures, showcasing a playful rivalry between them. With its exaggerated characters and caricature-like style, this satirical cartoon offers a scathing satire on historical events while providing entertainment for viewers. It highlights not only the fishing industry but also angling practices during that era. Moreland's use of vivid colors adds to the liveliness of the print, making it visually engaging and captivating for audiences today. This artwork serves as a delightful reminder that humor has always been an integral part of human history across different cultures. As we explore "The Coracle" we are transported to a time long gone but still relevant in its ability to bring laughter through art. It reminds us that even amidst serious subjects like shipbuilding or ancient civilizations, there is always room for comedy and light-heartedness.
