EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and amusing print titled "Grocer" captures the essence of a bygone era. Created in the early 20th century, this colour lithograph postcard showcases the comical side of a mischievous shopkeeper. The English School artist behind this piece skillfully depicts a scene filled with humor, trickery, and clever wordplay. In this delightful image, we see a jovial grocer standing proudly behind his counter adorned with an array of groceries. With an ear-to-ear grin on his face and mischief twinkling in his eyes, he playfully engages in some lighthearted fraudulence. His pencil hovers over a card displaying false prices while he holds up weights that are clearly manipulated for humorous effect. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every element adds to the overall comic atmosphere. From the grocer's brightly patterned tie to the exaggerated measures used for weighing goods, each aspect contributes to the entertaining narrative unfolding before our eyes. This print invites us into a world where grocery shopping becomes an amusing adventure rather than just another mundane task. It serves as both a reminder of simpler times and an appreciation for timeless humor. With its vibrant colors and clever composition, "Grocer" is sure to bring joy and laughter wherever it is displayed – be it in your home or office space.
