EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Last Drop April 5,1801" we are transported back to the bustling streets of London. The hand-colored etching depicts a scene filled with both humor and foreboding. Standing on tiptoe is a short and heavy-bellied tradesman, known as a tippler, who struggles to drain the contents of a large punch bowl in haste. With an abandoned ladle and glass nearby, it becomes evident that his efforts have failed him. However, what catches our attention is the menacing skeleton lurking behind him. This literal representation of death serves as a powerful reminder that time waits for no one. As the fast-approaching demise looms over the tippler's shoulder, it symbolizes how excess and indulgence can lead to one's downfall. The artist skillfully captures the atmosphere of this city scene through intricate details such as cobblestone streets and period clothing worn by passersby. The vibrant colors used in this hand-colored etching bring life to every element within the frame. As we observe this intriguing artwork from Liszt Collection, we are left pondering our own choices and actions in life. It serves as a cautionary tale about moderation and reminds us that even in moments of revelry, there is always an end waiting just around the corner.
