EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled ""I sank down on a bench" (engraving)" transports us back to the 19th century, where we find ourselves in the midst of a bustling railway station. The image captures a moment of respite as an individual sinks down onto a wooden bench, seeking solace from the chaotic surroundings. The scene is set against a backdrop of beautifully manicured gardens and elegant bank buildings, creating an interesting contrast between nature and urbanity. A vigilant policeman stands nearby, ensuring order amidst the comings and goings of trains and passengers. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Chatterbox magazine in 1890. It offers us a glimpse into daily life during that era – waiting for trains, finding comfort on park benches, and observing the world around them. The composition invites us to reflect upon our own experiences of seeking refuge in public spaces – whether it be waiting for transportation or simply taking a moment to rest amidst our busy lives. It reminds us that even within bustling environments, there are opportunities to find peace and serenity if we take the time to sink down onto our metaphorical benches. This thought-provoking artwork by English School serves as both a historical document capturing everyday life in the 19th century and as an invitation to contemplate our own moments of respite in today's fast-paced world.
