EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming engraving titled "Old Cronies" artist John Seymour Lucas captures a heartwarming scene that takes us back to a bygone era. The print, dating back to 1886, showcases the artist's exceptional attention to detail and his ability to evoke emotion through his work. The image depicts two elderly gentlemen engrossed in conversation while surrounded by their feathered companions. As they sit on a bench in what appears to be a tranquil garden setting, the men share stories and laughter, reminiscing about times long past. Their bond is evident as they lean towards each other with genuine interest and affection. Lucas masterfully portrays not only the human subjects but also pays careful attention to the birds perched nearby. These delightful creatures add an element of liveliness and playfulness to the composition, further enhancing its appeal. This artwork invites viewers into an intimate moment between old friends who have weathered life's storms together. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of friendship across generations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, allowing us to appreciate Lucas' skillful craftsmanship even centuries later. This print is truly a testament to art's ability to transcend time and connect us with our shared humanity.
