EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Tom's Supper" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a slice of domestic life. The scene depicts a young boy, dressed in a tunic and worn-out boots, sitting by an open window. Exhaustion is evident on his face as he leans against the windowsill while enjoying his meal. The historical significance of this artwork lies in its portrayal of simplicity and innocence. With a spoon in hand, the child indulges in his supper amidst the company of several kittens and cats eagerly waiting for their share. This charming interaction between humans and animals highlights the bond shared between them during that era. As we observe closely, we notice another cat comfortably asleep on top of a nearby barrel, adding to the tranquility of this moment. The artist skillfully captures not only the essence of mealtime but also emphasizes the importance of rest after nourishment. Through this enchanting engraving, we are transported to a time when food supply was limited yet cherished. It serves as a gentle reminder that even amidst hardships, moments like these were treasured dearly. Displayed within private collections today, "Tom's Supper" continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of childhood joy and companionship with nature's creatures.
