EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a joke theatrical bank note from the Royal Haymarket Bank, engraved by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century. The playful design features a comical depiction of a banker holding up ten pounds, surrounded by grand bank buildings. The absurdity of this piece is evident in its whimsical details, such as the words "Rigdum Funnibus" printed on the note and the exaggerated facial expressions of both the banker and his customers. It's clear that this artwork was created with humor in mind. The Royal Haymarket Bank, although not an actual financial institution, adds to the charm and wit of this piece. This fictional bank serves as a reminder that even serious matters like banking can be infused with lightheartedness. Displayed against a neutral background, this print allows viewers to fully appreciate every intricate detail of the engraving. The black and white color scheme enhances its vintage appeal while adding depth to each line and stroke. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply looking for something amusing to decorate your space, this print is sure to bring joy and laughter into any room it graces.
