EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing and comical print titled "Deceit" we are transported to a shop where a man is seen practicing the art of lying to his future wife about the reasons for getting home late before they tie the knot. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, this color lithograph captures a moment of preparation and anticipation. The scene depicts a man standing next to a dummy or mannequin, both dressed in dapper attire. With a mischievous smile on his face, he seems engrossed in perfecting his deceitful techniques. Perhaps he is rehearsing excuses or fabricating stories that will come handy when faced with questions from his soon-to-be spouse. Humorously portrayed, this image showcases the universal theme of marriage preparations while adding an amusing twist through its focus on deception. The hat worn by the man adds an element of charm and sophistication to his character, contrasting with the underlying mischief behind his actions. This postcard from the early 20th century offers us insight into societal norms and expectations surrounding relationships during that time period. It reminds us that humor has always played a role in navigating complex human interactions. With its historical significance, entertaining narrative, and comic undertones, "Deceit" invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with honesty and trust within relationships.
