You will marry me, won't you Charlie?
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A whimsical and humorous postcard from the early 20th century captures a comical moment of romantic intrigue. In this colorful lithograph by English School, we find ourselves in a bedroom where an illicit affair seems to be unfolding. The scene depicts a man and woman engaged in a playful exchange through a keyhole, as they communicate their hopes and desires for matrimony. The clever use of visual storytelling adds to the amusement factor of this print. We see the man standing outside the door, holding up a card that reads "You will marry me won't you Charlie?". His hopeful expression is met with anticipation as he waits for his lover's response. Meanwhile, inside the room, we catch sight of a servant or bootboy eavesdropping on their conversation. This postcard not only tickles our funny bone but also offers commentary on pre-marital relationships during that era. It playfully hints at secret rendezvous and hidden desires while poking fun at societal expectations surrounding marriage. With its vibrant colors and charmingly absurd scenario, this print invites us into a world where humor reigns supreme. It serves as both entertainment and social commentary – reminding us that even in matters of love and romance, laughter can often be found peeking through keyholes.
