EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful photograph captures a satirical postcard from the early 20th century titled "Who Said Divorce". The image, taken by English photographer Bridgeman Images, showcases a comical scene set in a sitting room. In the center of the frame, two chairs symbolizing a married couple confront each other in an absurd battle. This whimsical cartoon-like depiction portrays domestic conflict and marital discord with humor. The vibrant colors and playful composition add to the overall lightheartedness of the image. The caption highlights various elements within the picture, including furniture such as rocking chairs and fallen-over single chairs that represent failed marriages. It also mentions women's roles in marriage and their humorous interactions with their husbands. Although this photograph may seem funny at first glance, it subtly touches upon serious themes such as divorce and domestic abuse. By using satire and caricature, this piece challenges societal norms surrounding marriage while shedding light on its complexities. Overall, this print offers both amusement and thought-provoking commentary on relationships within society during the 20th century. Its unique blend of comedy and social critique makes it an intriguing addition to any art collection or exhibition space.
