EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and amusing coloured engraving titled "Creeping Like Snail" captures the essence of mid-19th century caricatures. Created by Charles Henry Bennett, this artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the book "Shadow and Substance" written by Bennett and Robert B Brough in 1860. The image showcases a comical scene filled with subdued humour, where various personalities are depicted as snails creeping along a wall. Each snail represents a different occupation or type of person, adding an artistic touch to the cartoon-like composition. The use of shadows adds depth to the illustration while enhancing its satirical nature. With its entertaining and funny portrayal, this Victorian-era engraving offers a scathing satire on society's quirks and idiosyncrasies. Although some retouching is required to remove stains from the image, it remains an engaging piece that continues to captivate viewers even today. Bridgeman Images presents this satirical drawing as part of their extensive collection, showcasing their commitment to preserving historical artworks for future generations to enjoy. This print serves as both entertainment and a reminder of how art can provide insightful commentary on human behavior through clever visual storytelling.
