EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and humorous cartoon from 1895, young Mr. Softly finds himself in a delicate situation as he prepares to make an important announcement to Miss Ethel. Fearing that any interruption could ruin the moment, he asks Lucy to play some music to prevent Miss Ethel from overhearing. The musical selection of choice is none other than the powerful and passionate compositions of the great German composer, Richard Wagner. With the grandeur and intensity of Wagner's music filling the room, Miss Ethel is blissfully unaware of the proposal unfolding just a few feet away. The scene is set in the late Victorian era, with the elegant decor and refined attire of the characters adding to the romantic and sophisticated atmosphere. The piano, a popular musical instrument of the time, serves as the perfect vehicle for Lucy to express the depth and emotion of Wagner's music. As Mr. Softly nervously waits for the right moment to speak, he can't help but feel a mix of anticipation and anxiety. The loud and musical notes of the piano fill the room, creating a sense of tension and excitement. Despite the situation being far from ideal, the use of Wagner's music adds a sense of grandeur and importance to the moment, making it a memorable and romantic gesture. The cartoon beautifully captures the essence of courtship in the late 1890s, with its intricate details and subtle humor.
