EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of an ancient Eastern proverb: "The tongue can mount you on an elephant". Created by renowned artist Rene Bull, this colour lithograph is part of a private collection. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene from early 20th-century India, depicted in intricate detail. A majestic elephant stands tall, its powerful presence dominating the frame. Perched atop the magnificent creature is a figure representing the human tongue, symbolizing the immense power of words. This thought-provoking artwork was originally published as one of a set of cigarette cards featuring Eastern Proverbs by Churchman. It serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight for those interested in history and cultural sayings. Through this evocative piece, Bull reminds us that our words possess tremendous influence - they have the ability to elevate us to great heights or bring us down just as easily. The proverbial saying urges caution and mindfulness when it comes to our speech, highlighting how even seemingly insignificant words can shape our destiny. As we gaze upon this striking composition, we are reminded of the profound connection between language and perception. This timeless artwork invites contemplation on how we choose to use our tongues - will we harness their power wisely or allow them to lead us astray?
