"It's No Use Crying Over Spilt Milk" is an 1880 etching by British artist Frank Paton (1856–1909), known for his detailed and often humorous depictions of animals and rural life. The work is emblematic of Paton's style, which frequently included domestic animals and bucolic scenes that resonated with Victorian sensibilities. The phrase "It's no use crying over spilt milk" is a proverb that suggests it is pointless to be upset about mistakes or unfortunate events that cannot be changed, and Paton's etching visually interprets this adage.

In the etching, Paton illustrates a literal scene that reflects the proverb's sentiment. The composition typically features a domestic interior where a mishap has occurred, such as a cat having knocked over a pail of milk, with the spilled liquid prominently featured. The reactions of the figures within the scene, be they human or animal, are crafted to evoke a sense of resigned humor, underscoring the futility of lamenting the loss.

Paton's work was well-received in his time, and "It's No Use Crying Over Spilt Milk" was no exception. His etchings were popular among the middle class, and he often released them as signed limited editions, which were collected and gifted. The etching is a fine example of Victorian popular art and provides insight into the era's cultural attitudes towards adversity and the importance of maintaining a composed demeanor in the face of minor domestic calamities.

As an artist, Frank Paton was a contemporary of other Victorian illustrators and was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists. His work, including "It's No Use Crying Over Spilt Milk," contributed to the visual culture of the period and remains of interest to collectors and historians of Victorian art. The etching is part of Paton's broader oeuvre, which includes a variety of prints that often feature animals and are characterized by their narrative charm and technical skill.
