Red Herrings by Parcel Post
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a whimsical and humorous artwork captured in this chromolitho print by the talented artist Hugh Thomson. The illustration, originally created for The Graphic's Christmas Number in 1892, takes us on an exciting journey filled with suspense and laughter. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a thrilling chase. A hunted man desperately tries to outwit his pursuers – postmen accompanied by their loyal dogs. But what makes this pursuit truly extraordinary are the red herrings cleverly sent through parcel post as distractions. With each package opened, our protagonist gains a precious chance of escape. Thomson's artistic prowess shines through as he masterfully depicts the chaos that ensues when these unexpected twists are introduced into the story. The composition draws us in with its dynamic energy and attention to detail, allowing us to feel like active participants in this comical adventure. As we observe from close quarters, we can almost hear the barks of determination and see the mischievous glint in our hero's eyes. Every step he takes leaves behind a trail that keeps both his trackers and us on tenterhooks. This delightful artwork not only showcases Thomson's skill but also captures the essence of storytelling itself – taking ordinary situations and transforming them into extraordinary tales full of surprises. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it is those unexpected turns or "red herrings" that lead us down new paths and create moments of joyous discovery.
