EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled ""Hark, dear! said Mr Partridge to his gentle little wife, / I hear a mower with his scythe - the terror of my life" transports us back to the early 20th century. The image depicts a picturesque scene in an idyllic countryside setting. In this charming illustration for Chatterbox (1917), we witness Mr Partridge engaging in conversation with his beloved wife. The couple stands amidst a lush meadow filled with vibrant flowers and tall grasses. As they converse, their attention is drawn towards the distant sound of a mower approaching with its scythe. This simple act strikes fear into Mr Partridge's heart, as he comically refers to it as "the terror of my life". The artwork beautifully captures the essence of rural life during this era, showcasing fields and pastures that were vital for agriculture and farming practices. It also portrays various elements of nature, including birds such as partridges gracefully roaming about. Rendered in black and white through lithography techniques, this print exudes a timeless quality that adds depth and character to the overall composition. The intricate details bring out the emotions on Mr Partridge's face while highlighting the bond between him and his spouse. Overall, this delightful piece invites viewers to step into a bygone era where daily encounters like these held significance within communities deeply connected to nature and each other.
