EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical lithograph captures a whimsical moment in history as Adam, the first man, passionately extols the virtues of wearing a fig leaf. Created by an English School artist in the early 20th century, this print showcases their mastery of color and detail. In this postcard-sized artwork, we find Adam standing proudly amidst the lush greenery of the Garden of Eden. Clad only in his signature fig leaf and holding a walking stick with one hand, he confidently gestures towards himself with the other. His expression is filled with pride and vanity as he revels in his newfound fashion statement. The scene is infused with humor as Adam's exaggerated posture and self-assuredness evoke laughter. The artist skillfully combines elements of history, mythology, and satire to create an entertaining narrative that tickles our funny bone. As we delve deeper into this image, we can't help but reflect on human nature itself. Through Adam's proud display and his disregard for modesty or humility, we are reminded of our own tendencies towards vanity and pretension - two aspects often associated with one of the seven deadly sins. This delightful postcard serves not only as a source of amusement but also prompts us to contemplate our own emotions and behaviors. It reminds us that even though times may change throughout history, certain aspects of human nature remain constant.
