EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical engraving titled "Suggestion" the English School of the 19th century showcases their wit and humor through a humorous cartoon. The print, part of a private collection, captures the essence of Punch magazine's illustration style from April 20,1878. The image takes us back in time to an era when inventions were booming and Thomas Edison was at the forefront of innovation. With a touch of scathing satire, this caricature pokes fun at both Edison and his contemporaries who were constantly coming up with new ideas. The artist skillfully portrays an amusing scene where an eccentric inventor presents his latest creation to a skeptical audience. The invention itself is left to our imagination as we witness the comical reactions on people's faces – some bewildered, others amused. This satirical drawing not only highlights society's fascination with new gadgets but also serves as a reminder that even groundbreaking inventors like Edison faced criticism and skepticism along their journey. With its clever use of humor and comic elements, "Suggestion" offers viewers a glimpse into the lighter side of history while showcasing the talent and creativity found within British art during this period.
