EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "False and True Riches" takes us on a visual journey through the complexities of wealth, happiness, and morality. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a thought-provoking commentary on the dichotomy between material and spiritual riches. The image portrays two contrasting scenes side by side: one representing false riches and the other true riches. In the false riches section, opulence abounds with extravagant mansions, luxurious carriages, and ostentatious displays of wealth. However, beneath this facade of abundance lies emptiness and discontentment. On the contrary, in the true riches section, we witness a humble family surrounded by love and joy. Their modest dwelling radiates warmth as they engage in simple pleasures that money cannot buy – laughter fills their home while genuine connections flourish. Through this powerful juxtaposition of images, we are reminded that real fortune lies not in material possessions but rather in meaningful relationships and inner contentment. The artwork serves as a timeless reminder to prioritize what truly matters in life – cherishing our loved ones over accumulating superficial wealth. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Pellerin & Cie's Imagerie D'Epinal collection published during the late 19th century; it evokes deep emotions within us - prompting introspection about our own pursuit of happiness amidst societal pressures for material gain.
