The Waits, and May They Continue to Wait
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a whimsical street scene from the late 19th century. In this vibrant color lithograph by Tom Merry, we are transported back in time to witness a satirical portrayal of musicians known as "The Waits". These talented individuals were renowned for serenading the streets during festive occasions. Amidst the bustling cityscape of St. Stephen's Review Presentation Cartoon, we find ourselves immersed in a world where music reigns supreme. The cartoonist's keen eye for detail brings to life an array of comical characters, each holding their unique musical instrument with anticipation and mischief. As we gaze upon this print, it becomes evident that waiting is at the heart of this scene. The musicians stand united on the cobbled street, eagerly anticipating their moment to captivate passersby with their melodious tunes. Their expressions reveal both excitement and patience as they await their turn to fill the air with harmonies. Merry's artwork not only showcases his artistic prowess but also serves as a social commentary on society's tendency to wait endlessly for something better or more fulfilling. Through satire and humor, he invites us to reflect on our own lives and question whether we too are caught up in perpetual waiting. This delightful print reminds us that amidst life's uncertainties, music has always been there – patiently waiting to bring joy into our hearts. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of artistry and its ability to transcend time while reminding us
