EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, entitled "English Lady and English Gentleman," was created by the renowned Italian artist, Garretti, in 1928. The image presents a humorous and satirical take on the stereotypical English man and woman of the time. The lady, clad in a long, flowing skirt and a determined expression, is depicted with an umbrella in hand and a resolute look on her face, suggesting her readiness to face the unpredictable English weather. Her long, elegant feet, encased in high heels, are poised and confident, exuding an air of sophistication and grace. The gentleman, on the other hand, is shown in his formal attire, complete with a top hat and tails, a monocle in one eye, and a cane in hand. However, the caption beneath the image, penned by The Graphic, questions the faithfulness of Garretti's depiction of the English. The gentleman is shown with a surprised and disheveled expression, as if he had just been startled, and his feet are shown with bare toes, suggesting that he had begun his day with a cold bath. The caricature raises intriguing questions about the nature of Englishness and the stereotypes that were prevalent during the interwar period. While Garretti's depiction of the English lady may be somewhat accurate, the image of the English gentleman, with his unexpected bare feet, challenges the notion of the quintessential English gentleman, adding a layer of complexity to our understanding of this cultural construct. Overall, this caricature serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous yet insightful commentary on the English identity and the enduring power of stereotypes.
