EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie!, 1880, (1912)", we are transported back to the late 19th century. The artist, Briton Riviere, masterfully captures a scene that exudes tranquility and exhaustion. A man sits on a bench in an outdoor setting, his weary body slouched against the backrest. With a pipe in one hand and a tankard of beer by his side, he has found solace in these simple pleasures after what seems like an arduous day. But it is not just the man who catches our attention; nestled at his feet lies his loyal companion - a dog peacefully asleep. This image beautifully portrays the age-old saying "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie", reminding us of the importance of leaving things undisturbed when they are at peace. The composition is strikingly monochrome, adding depth and character to every detail captured by Riviere's skilled brushstrokes. The man's attire reflects the fashion trends of that era while also hinting at his social status. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork from Bibbys Annual 1912 publication, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative. It speaks volumes about human nature - our need for rest and respite from life's demands. Through this single snapshot frozen in time, Briton Riviere invites us to contemplate the delicate balance between work and leisure while appreciating the unwavering loyalty of our furry companions.
