EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful lithograph titled "Beds through life" captures the various stages of human existence in a whimsical and satirical manner. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this print offers a humorous take on the concept of beds as symbols of different life phases. Starting with a cradle representing infancy, the image progresses to show a soldier's bed symbolizing childhoods spent dreaming of heroic adventures. The next stage depicts apprentices sleeping soundly, hinting at their hard work during waking hours. A comic touch is added with a joke-filled military bed, highlighting the lighthearted camaraderie among soldiers. Moving forward, we see marital beds indicating union and companionship. A single bed humorously represents those who have not yet found their perfect match. The cartoonish depiction continues with babies nestled in straw-filled cradles during World War I, showcasing the challenges faced by families during that time. The print concludes with images of toddlers and children enjoying their own unique beds before transitioning into adulthood. This satirical drawing cleverly comments on societal norms surrounding furniture and its significance throughout different stages of life. Displayed against a vibrant background, this postcard-sized artwork provides both entertainment and insight into how our lives are intertwined with our choice of bedding. With its blend of wit and artistic skill, this piece from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to reflect on their own journey through life's many sleep spaces.
