EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Swearing (engraving)" by the English School in the 19th century takes us back to a time when social norms and language were vastly different. This intriguing artwork, part of a private collection, showcases an illustration for "The Good Childs Reward" by Henry Sharpe Horsley, published around 1860. In this digitally cleaned image, we witness a scene that challenges our perception of morality and decorum. The engraving depicts individuals engaged in what was considered then as foul and low language - swearing. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and emotion on their faces, highlighting the impact of such words on human interaction. This thought-provoking print serves as a reminder of how societal standards have evolved over time. It prompts us to reflect upon our own use of language today and its consequences within our relationships and communities. While it may be easy to dismiss this engraving as merely capturing a moment from history, it holds deeper significance by shedding light on the power that words possess. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this piece through Fine Art Finder, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical context while contemplating its relevance in contemporary society. As we gaze upon this print, let us consider how far we have come in shaping our communication practices while acknowledging that there is still much work ahead towards fostering respectful dialogue among all individuals.
