EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Thursday, 1880" we are transported back to the late 19th century. The image captures a moment of both serenity and humor as a group of Franciscans engage in an unconventional activity - fishing. Created by an unknown artist, this print is believed to be inspired by a painting known as "Tomorrow will be Friday" displayed at the Tate Gallery in London. The scene depicts several Franciscan friars standing along the banks of a picturesque river or stream in the British countryside. Clad in their traditional brown robes, these devout men cast their fishing rods into the water with great concentration. The reason behind their peculiar pastime becomes clear when we learn that they were forbidden from eating meat on Fridays due to religious observance. This delightful composition not only showcases Victorian-era rural life but also offers us a glimpse into the lighter side of religious practices during that time. It reminds us that even those dedicated to spirituality can find joy and amusement amidst their solemn duties. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this print beautifully encapsulates an era long gone while highlighting the timeless themes of faith, tradition, and human connection with nature. As we admire this piece from "The Nations Pictures" it serves as a reminder that art has always been instrumental in capturing moments that transcend time itself.
