EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving captures a Victorian satirical cartoon that humorously comments on the relationship between wealth and transport in the 19th century. In this whimsical image, we are transported back to the sweet days of yore when divinity rode an ass on his mission of love. However, times have changed, and now it takes two men and two horses to carry an ass! The artist cleverly highlights the absurdity of excess and extravagance by depicting such a comically inefficient mode of transportation. The detailed illustration showcases the artist's skillful use of woodcut technique, capturing every nuance with precision. The characters' expressions add another layer of satire as they navigate this peculiar scene. This satirical cartoon not only pokes fun at societal norms but also offers a glimpse into the values and beliefs prevalent during that era. As we delve into this piece from the late 19th century, we can't help but appreciate its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, artists used their craft to critique social issues through humor and wit. Duncan1890's print beautifully preserves this timeless artwork for us to reflect upon today.
