Oh ah! Let em ring again!
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print from the 1840s by renowned artist George Cruikshank. This comical cartoon sketch transports us to a cozy scene below stairs in 19th century Britain, where servants find respite by the hearth while their masters impatiently ring for service. The image captures the essence of British satire as it humorously depicts the insubordination of these relaxed servants. A bellboy, butler, and maid are seen pointing towards each other with mischievous grins on their faces, seemingly enjoying the chaos caused by ignoring their masters' calls. The noise of ringing bells fills the air, contrasting with the lazy atmosphere surrounding them. Cruikshank's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of not only human characters but also an amusing feline presence. A cat lounges comfortably near the fireplace, adding another layer of whimsy to this delightful scene. This engraving serves as a reminder that even in Victorian times, people found ways to challenge authority and inject humor into daily life. It showcases Cruikshank's talent for capturing both social commentary and comedic elements within his artwork. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness a moment filled with laughter and rebellion against societal norms. "Oh ah! Let em ring again!" stands as a testament to George Cruikshank's artistic brilliance and his ability to bring joy through visual storytelling.
