EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an intriguing illustration after George Cruikshank's work for the poem "The Lay of St. Cuthbert". In this whimsical scene, Beelzebub himself is depicted tying enormous knots in his tail, showcasing the devil's mischievous nature. The malevolent creature seems to be enjoying a moment of revelry and celebration, perhaps indulging in some devilish festivities. With its intricate details and skilled lithography techniques, this 19th-century artwork showcases the talent of the English School. The image transports us into a world of folklore and fantasy, where mythical creatures roam freely. While it may seem unusual to find humor in such satanic imagery, this illustration reminds us that even supernatural beings can engage in practical jokes and mirthful activities. It serves as a testament to the rich storytelling tradition present in Thomas Ingoldsby's "The Ingoldsby Legends or Mirth and Marvels". This fascinating piece from a private collection invites viewers to delve into the depths of their imagination while exploring themes of folklore and mythology. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print by Ken Welsh, we are reminded that art has no boundaries when it comes to depicting fantastical worlds beyond our own.
