EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white drawing captures a humorous yet scathing satire of the early 20th century police force. Created by Albert Engstrom in 1905, "The Sergeant: Don't bloody swear like that" depicts a stern sergeant reprimanding a mischievous officer for his foul language. The artwork, displayed at the Thiel Gallery in Stockholm, Sweden, showcases Engstrom's exceptional talent as both an artist and satirist. Engstrom's skillful use of lines and shading brings this satirical cartoon to life. The exaggerated facial expressions and body language of the characters add depth to their personalities, making them instantly relatable to viewers even after more than a century since its creation. Through this piece of art, Engstrom highlights not only the strict hierarchy within police forces but also pokes fun at societal norms surrounding masculinity during that era. The contrast between the sergeant's authoritative stance and the officer's cheeky demeanor creates a lighthearted atmosphere while subtly critiquing power dynamics. "The Sergeant: Don't bloody swear like that" is an excellent example of Engstrom's ability to blend humor with social commentary. This drawing serves as a reminder that art can be both entertaining and thought-provoking, transcending time periods to resonate with audiences today.
