EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "The kiss that never came off" is a true testament to the creativity and humor of the English School in the 20th century. The image features an unusual scene, where a cross-dressing individual, adorned in a wig and comical attire, attempts to steal a kiss under the mistletoe. With its clever play on words and unexpected twist, this postcard captures both amusement and historical significance. It reflects society's evolving attitudes towards gender identity during that era. While some may find it entertaining or funny, it is important to acknowledge that this artwork could be seen as transphobic by today's standards. The artist behind this comical masterpiece is R C Carter, whose talent shines through in his ability to create such an amusing yet thought-provoking piece. The use of bold colors adds vibrancy to the image while enhancing its overall impact. "The kiss that never came off" serves as a reminder of how art can challenge societal norms while providing entertainment. This postcard encapsulates history, botany (with references to mistletoe), science (through botanical elements), and even love with its depiction of kisses under trees. Displayed proudly within a private collection, this print from Fine Art Finder showcases not only artistic skill but also sparks conversations about gender expression throughout different periods in history.
