EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white lantern slide, titled 'Favourite Sayings - The Cracked Dish,' is a poignant visual representation of the traditional Proverb, 'All is lost that is poured into a cracked dish.' Dating back to the late 1890s, this image is part of the extensive 'Sayings' collection within the Boswell Collection, created by the renowned British Particular Baptist preacher, C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892). The photograph depicts a woman in the midst of pouring the contents of a pan into a cracked dish. The anticipation on her face is palpable as she carefully transfers the contents, only to be met with the disheartening sight of liquid spilling out onto the cold, hard floor. The image is a powerful reminder of the transience of life and the importance of being mindful of the choices we make. This visual proverb is a testament to Spurgeon's ability to use simple yet profound imagery to convey complex moral messages. The lantern slide, which is part of the 'John Ploughman's Pictures' series, is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the cultural and historical significance of traditional sayings and proverbs in 19th-century Britain. The intricately detailed image, with its timeless message, continues to resonate with audiences today, making it a cherished piece of historical and cultural significance. This lantern slide is not only a beautiful work of art but also a powerful reminder of the importance of being mindful and appreciating the value of what we have before it is too late.
