EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming lithograph print captures the whimsical humor of early 20th-century postcards. Titled "Trying to be good," it features a dapper dog dressed in a three-piece suit, complete with hat and tie. The anthropomorphic canine exudes an air of sophistication as he sits upright, embodying the concept of trying to behave properly.
The satirical drawing is signed by CFL and showcases the artist's talent for blending satire with humor. The black-and-white composition adds a classic touch to the scene, emphasizing the dog's comical attempt at being well-behaved.
The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when postcards were popular forms of communication and entertainment. It serves as a reminder that even our furry friends can aspire to societal norms and expectations, albeit in their own playful way.
Whether displayed in a private collection or shared with others, this print is sure to bring smiles and laughter to all who view it. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of anthropomorphism and clever wit in art, making it a timeless piece that continues to delight audiences today.
