EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white lantern slide, titled 'Favourite Sayings - The horse with a halter,' is a captivating visual representation of the traditional British proverb, 'A horse which carries a halter is soon caught.' The image, part of the Box 187 Sayings collection in the Boswell Collection, was created by the renowned British Particular Baptist preacher, C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892). The lantern slide, which dates back to the late 1890s, depicts a man in the foreground, standing calmly and holding a horse that wears a halter. The painted background of the slide adds an intriguing layer to the scene, as it shows a man in hot pursuit of a horse. The proverbial meaning behind the image is clear: once an animal, or in this case, a person, is under control or accountable, they are more easily managed or captured. Spurgeon's illustrated 'John Ploughman's Pictures' series, of which this slide is a part, aimed to convey biblical truths and moral lessons through visual storytelling. This intriguing artifact offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the popular sayings, quotes, and phrases of the late 19th century.
