EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and whimsical color lithograph titled "A Stranger Steed" we are transported to the 19th century, where a peculiar encounter takes place. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, captures a moment of both humor and curiosity. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery, we see a comical scene unfold. A man dressed in traditional attire sits atop an unusual mode of transportation – a crocodile! With its jaws wide open and scales glistening in the sunlight, the reptile seems surprisingly docile as it carries its unlikely rider through unknown lands. The illustration was originally featured in Bubbles magazine edited by Dr Barnardo in 1903. It showcases not only the artist's skillful use of color but also their ability to inject humor into their work. This unexpected pairing of man and beast invites us to question our assumptions about what is possible or expected. The lithograph serves as a reminder that sometimes life presents us with unexpected opportunities or challenges that require us to adapt and find new ways forward. It encourages us to embrace the unfamiliar with lightheartedness and creativity. This image from Bridgeman Images captures not only the essence of wildlife but also sparks our imagination with its humorous twist on reality. Whether displayed in a private collection or shared for public enjoyment, "A Stranger Steed" brings joy and wonder to all who lay eyes upon it.
