EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "See me! skate!" transports us back to the 19th century, where humor and wit were celebrated in art. Created by an English School artist, this illustration was originally featured in The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1839. The image showcases a delightful scene of a crab confidently gliding across the ice on a skate. With its claws raised high in triumph, it exclaims, "See me! skate!". The comical juxtaposition of this crustacean engaging in such an unexpected activity adds to the charm and whimsy of the artwork. The intricate details captured by the skilled engraver bring life to both the crab and its surroundings. Every line and stroke highlights not only the creature's determination but also its joyous expression as it fearlessly conquers new territory. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from a private collection, we are reminded of how art has always had the power to transport us into imaginative worlds filled with laughter. This piece serves as a testament to the creativity and playfulness that existed during this period. Whether displayed alone or as part of a larger collection, this 19th-century engraving is sure to captivate viewers with its humorous depiction of wildlife engaging in unexpected activities.
