EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical colour litho print captures a delightful moment at the seaside in the early 20th century. In this postcard image, we see a man and woman playfully carrying an enormous stick of rock along the beach. The English School artist has skillfully depicted their animated expressions and exaggerated movements, adding to the comical nature of the scene. The picture exudes a sense of carefree holiday spirit, with children frolicking in bathing suits nearby. However, upon closer examination, one cannot ignore certain elements that reflect societal attitudes of the time. The portrayal of women as objects for male amusement is evident through ogling gazes directed towards the woman's figure. While this artwork may be seen as humorous or entertaining on its surface, it also raises questions about historical misogyny and sexism prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of how gender roles were often perpetuated through visual media like postcards. Nevertheless, this print remains an intriguing piece from our private collection that offers insight into both history and popular culture. Its lively depiction of coastal scenery evokes feelings of nostalgia for summer vacations past while prompting reflection on societal progress since then.
