EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print titled "Science, 1936" captures the essence of a bygone era. Created as part of a series of humorous cigarette cards called Howlers, this artwork was produced for Churchman's, an English tobacco company. The card showcases the comical side of science with its playful depiction of a scientist in his laboratory. The image portrays a bespectacled boffin engrossed in an experiment that seems to have gone awry. Surrounded by bubbling beakers and scientific apparatus, he is caught mid-explosion, with his hair standing on end and his lab coat billowing out dramatically. This scene perfectly encapsulates the popular perception of scientists as eccentric geniuses who are prone to unexpected mishaps. The use of vivid colors and intricate details adds depth to this vintage card, making it both visually appealing and amusing. It serves as a reminder of the golden age when such cigarette cards were collected avidly by enthusiasts. Now preserved in a private collection, this delightful piece exemplifies the fusion between art and advertising during that time period. Its humor transcends generations, offering viewers a glimpse into the lighter side of scientific exploration while showcasing Bull Rene's artistic talent.
