A Tale of a Snake
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of both intrigue and amusement in this 19th-century engraving by William Ralston. The scene unfolds in a picturesque garden, where an exasperated man stands on the lawn, his attention fully captured by an unexpected visitor. A snake slithers across the grass, leaving him utterly disgusted. The man, accompanied by a porter carrying his belongings, seems to have learned quite a lesson from this encounter with Professor Wriggles – as the snake has been aptly named. With his real mustache bristling with authority, Professor Wriggles arrives at the occasion to instruct those present on how to handle such reptilian encounters. Careful not to let their guard down again, the party gathers around as the professor opens a package containing what appears to be another harmless creature. Young Lambson prays that it is not another snake while Miss Brown Smith pays close attention. Lost luggage office attendant Mr. Todkins takes pride in proving that snakes can indeed play games like tennis players on grass courts. This unexpected twist adds an element of surprise and humor to this print. With its rich detail and lively characters, "A Tale of a Snake" transports us back in time and reminds us that even amidst wildlife encounters and unforeseen delays, there's always room for laughter and adventure.
