EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical postcard from the early 20th century captures a moment of humor and satire in its colorful lithograph print. The scene depicts a woman sitting alone on a chair, looking slightly sad as she gazes at a parrot perched nearby. The caption above reads, "Be good, girls! Look at the reward you get for it!"
The image plays with the idea of rewards and consequences, suggesting that being good may not always lead to the desired outcome. The woman's expression hints at disappointment or resignation, adding an element of melancholy to the humorous composition.
The vibrant colors and detailed drawing style bring this satirical scene to life, inviting viewers to ponder the deeper meaning behind the playful facade. The juxtaposition of comedy and contemplation makes this postcard a thought-provoking piece of art that resonates with audiences even today.
Whether enjoying it for its visual appeal or delving into its underlying message, this color litho by English School is sure to spark conversation and reflection among those who encounter it. It serves as a reminder that sometimes even our best efforts may not result in the rewards we expect - but perhaps there is still value in striving for goodness regardless.
