EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Might Be Worse!, 1888" captures a humorous scene from the late 19th century. In this caricatured image by Charles Samuel Keene, we see a man enjoying a day of fishing while indulging in some leisurely activities. Set against the backdrop of nature, the man is depicted with his fishing rod in hand, ready to cast his line into the water. However, what makes this image truly amusing is the assortment of items he has packed for his outing. Instead of focusing solely on fishing gear, our protagonist seems to have prioritized other essentials – namely food and drink! A picnic basket sits prominently beside him, filled to the brim with delicious treats and refreshments. Clearly not one to compromise on comfort, he also brings along a comfortable chair for lounging purposes. This comical portrayal highlights how even during recreational pursuits like fishing, people often prioritize their personal enjoyment above all else. Keene's satirical engraving offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era pastimes and serves as an entertaining reminder that sometimes it's important to indulge ourselves amidst our hobbies. The black and white monochrome adds an old-world charm to this heritage image partnership print. "Might Be Worse!, 1888" invites viewers to appreciate both the simplicity and humor found in everyday life - reminding us that even when things don't go exactly as planned or expected (such as forgetting essential fishing equipment), there's always room for laughter and enjoyment.
