EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and satirical postcard print titled "A money burner" captures the essence of financial woes in marriages. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 20th century, this colourful lithograph is now part of a private collection. Depicting a comical scene, the image showcases two women wearing extravagant hats while surrounded by bills and invoices. The caption cleverly plays on the idea of burning money, highlighting how wives' spending habits can sometimes be overwhelming for their husbands. The cartoon-like drawing brings to life the age-old stereotype of wives being shopaholics who effortlessly drain their husbands' wallets. With its witty verse and funny portrayal, this postcard serves as both entertainment and social commentary on marital finances. The artist's skillful use of caricature adds depth to this satirical piece, emphasizing exaggerated features that reflect societal norms surrounding gender roles and financial responsibility within relationships. Overall, "A money burner" offers viewers a lighthearted glimpse into the complexities of married life through its clever composition and amusing details. It reminds us that even in times past, humor was used as a way to cope with everyday challenges such as managing finances within marriage.
