EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph captures a humorous moment in an early 20th-century sculpture gallery. The scene depicts a couple, Sammy and Sally, observing a collection of naked statues with amusement and bewilderment. Sammy exclaims, "Why! It mun be their bath day," while Sally urges him to leave, stating, "Come away; this is no place for thee. We'll come again when they've geet their clooas on." The satirical drawing offers a playful commentary on the perception of nudity in art and the reactions it elicits from viewers. The couple's contrasting responses highlight the different attitudes towards nudity and art during that time period. The postcard-style composition adds to the charm of the image, capturing a moment of lighthearted humor amidst the serious setting of a museum gallery. The vibrant colours bring life to the scene, enhancing its comedic effect. Overall, this print serves as both a delightful visual representation of early 20th-century satire and an intriguing glimpse into societal norms surrounding nudity in art. It invites viewers to reflect on how perceptions have evolved over time while enjoying a light-hearted moment captured by an anonymous English School artist.
