EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous postcard print captures a playful scene from the early 20th century. In this colourful lithograph, we see a chef tasting food alongside a kitchen maid, both engaged in their culinary duties. The comic nature of the image is evident as the chef's facial expression suggests he may have just tasted something unexpected or perhaps even distasteful. The composition of the artwork showcases the contrast between the stoutness of both characters, highlighting themes of obesity and excess prevalent during that time period. It offers us a glimpse into historical perceptions surrounding body image and societal norms. The illustration also provides insight into domestic life during this era, with its depiction of a bustling kitchen filled with pots, pans, and various ingredients. The presence of the maid emphasizes her role as an essential member of the household staff responsible for maintaining cleanliness and assisting in meal preparation. Through its use of vivid colours and comical elements, this postcard invites viewers to reflect on cultural attitudes towards food, sexuality, and humor in early 20th-century society. It serves as a reminder that art can often provide valuable insights into our collective history while offering moments of amusement along the way.
