EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Charles Robinson depicts the age-old adage "Pride goes before a fall" in a whimsical and enchanting manner. The image, part of the Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes collection, captures the essence of childhood innocence and folly with its vibrant colors and playful composition.
The central figure, a young child exuding an air of pride and self-importance, is surrounded by elements that symbolize vanity and pretension. From his ornate clothing to the exaggerated expression on his face, every detail serves to emphasize the theme of hubris leading to downfall.
Despite its lighthearted appearance, this print carries a powerful message about the dangers of arrogance and overconfidence. It serves as a reminder that no matter how high one's status or achievements may be, they are always at risk of being brought low by their own pride.
As we gaze upon this charming artwork, we are reminded of our own vulnerabilities and shortcomings. It prompts us to reflect on our own attitudes towards success and humility, urging us to approach life with grace and modesty rather than conceit.
In conclusion, Pride goes before a fall (colour litho) is not just a delightful piece of art but also a profound meditation on human nature and the pitfalls of excessive pride.
