EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical and satirical postcard print titled "Sing me to sleep" captures a humorous moment between a large woman and her thin husband. The contrast in size between the two figures adds an element of comedy to the scene, as the wife is depicted sitting on her husband's lap with a playful expression on her face.
The vibrant colors used in this colour lithograph enhance the jovial atmosphere of the image, while also highlighting the scale difference between the couple. The exaggerated proportions of the characters emphasize their contrasting physical appearances, creating a lighthearted and amusing composition.
Despite its comedic tone, there is also a sense of romanticism present in this artwork. The intimate gesture of the wife sitting on her husband's lap suggests a closeness and affection between them, even if it is portrayed in an unconventional way.
Overall, this postcard print by English School from the early 20th century offers viewers a delightful mix of humor and romance. It serves as a reminder that love comes in all shapes and sizes, making it a charming addition to any art collection.
