EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "There's Many a Slip between the Cup and the Lip" is a poignant portrayal of life's unpredictable nature. Created by Briton Riviere in 1888, this print captures a moment filled with emotion and symbolism. The scene depicts two young children, their faces etched with sadness and tears streaming down their cheeks. They are surrounded by dogs, which often symbolize loyalty and companionship. The title itself suggests that something has gone awry - perhaps they have spilled or dropped something precious from their cup. Riviere masterfully conveys the fragility of hope and anticipation through his detailed engravings. The artist skillfully captures the vulnerability of childhood innocence as it collides with life's unexpected disappointments. This image serves as a reminder that even our best-laid plans can be derailed by unforeseen circumstances. The composition is rich in storytelling elements, inviting viewers to reflect on moments when they too have experienced disappointment or witnessed others' dreams shattered. It serves as an enduring testament to the universal human experience of navigating through setbacks and learning resilience along the way. This lithograph from Bridgeman Images evokes deep empathy within its viewers while also showcasing Riviere's artistic prowess in capturing raw emotions on paper. It stands as a timeless piece that continues to resonate with audiences today, reminding us all that there truly is many a slip between the cup and the lip.
