EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical photo print, we are transported to the world of "The Diary of a Nobody" by George and Weedon Grossmith. The image captures a moment from the lower middle-class life of Mr. Charles Pooter, the protagonist of the novel. Displayed proudly on a wall is a stags head made entirely out of plaster-of-Paris. Its intricate engraving adds an air of sophistication to this humorous scene. It is as if Mr. Pooter seeks to elevate his status through this unconventional piece of decor. The stag's head becomes a symbol not only for humor but also for class aspirations within London's social hierarchy during that time period. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear the laughter and feel the irony embedded in its presence. This print offers us insight into both the character's personality and their desire to be seen as more than just ordinary individuals living in modest circumstances. Through artful storytelling and visual representation, Grossmith brothers bring forth moments that resonate with readers even today. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this iconic scene from "The Diary of a Nobody" allowing us to appreciate its timeless charm while immersing ourselves in early 20th-century London society - where even hanging up a plaster-of-Paris stag's head could become an amusing statement about one's place in the world.
