EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous colour lithograph by Tom Browne captures the age-old saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted." The image depicts a man sitting at a table, engrossed in a game of chance, surrounded by onlookers who appear to be setting him up for a trick. The postcard from the early 20th century is filled with playful details that add to the comedic nature of the scene.
Browne's use of bold colours and exaggerated expressions brings this cautionary tale to life, reminding viewers of the dangers of being too trusting or gullible when it comes to matters of money. The man's obliviousness to the trap being set for him adds an element of suspense and anticipation, making this print both entertaining and thought-provoking.
As we gaze upon this whimsical artwork, we can't help but chuckle at the folly of human nature and our susceptibility to falling victim to schemes and deceit. It serves as a lighthearted reminder to stay vigilant and cautious in our dealings with others, lest we find ourselves like the hapless figure in Browne's clever composition.
