EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical colour lithograph titled "Figures Of Speech: Hobson's Choice" captures the essence of a popular English idiom in a playful and imaginative way. Created by an unknown English artist in the 20th century, this artwork is part of a series of cigarette cards on the theme of Figures Of Speech, originally issued by Ardath in 1936.
The scene depicted in this print showcases a comical interpretation of the phrase "Hobson's Choice," which refers to a situation where one has no real choice at all. In this case, we see a man standing before two doors, each labeled with contradictory options - one leading to riches and the other to ruin. The clever use of visual storytelling conveys the irony and humor inherent in this well-known saying.
With its bold colours and intricate details, this artwork invites viewers to ponder the complexities of language and communication. It serves as a reminder that words have power beyond their literal meanings, often carrying layers of symbolism and cultural significance.
Whether displayed as a standalone piece or as part of a collection, "Figures Of Speech: Hobson's Choice" is sure to spark conversation and inspire contemplation on the nuances of human expression.
