Why It Matters
Sold as a two-print set, the works pair "Tired Of The Show" — a nod to fatigue with political spectacle — with "Feudal Trouble," evoking entrenched hierarchies of domination. Together they form a compact diptych on authority, distraction, and control, themes that run through Peterson's 2025 output and connect to companion sets released the same year.
Collector Perspective
The set format offers two images at one price point, appealing to collectors who want a paired hang. At an edition of 75, these are more widely available than Peterson's tighter runs, making them an accessible entry to his 2025 work. Confirm that both prints are present, check numbering, and inspect the deckled edges on each Coventry Rag sheet.
Historical Context
Peterson's 2025 self-released sets — including companion pairings like The Power Plant & Lulled To Sleep and Full Of Hate & Hoodwinked — reflect a period of prolific output focused on themes of political distraction, apathy, and power. The diptych format lets him build a dialogue between two related images within a single acquisition.
