EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and satirical postcard print titled "Man collecting a cheque with his dog" we are transported to the early 20th century, where a comical scene unfolds. The English School artist masterfully captures the absurdity of the situation as a man, accompanied by his loyal canine companion, collects a cheque. The image is filled with playful details that add to its charm and humor. The man, wearing a boater hat and leaning on a walking stick, stands in front of an imposing bank building. His cheeky expression suggests he may be up to no good as he receives money from what appears to be some sort of benefits scheme. Meanwhile, his mischievous dog sits beside him, seemingly aware of their clever scamming antics. This satirical drawing pokes fun at both individuals who exploit welfare systems and banks themselves. The cartoon-like style adds to the lightheartedness of the scene while delivering scathing satire about societal issues surrounding money and entitlements. It's clear that this image was intended for amusement rather than any serious commentary. Overall, this color litho print offers us an amusing glimpse into an era when even dogs could participate in financial mischief. With its witty caption potential and delightful composition, it's no wonder why this postcard has become such a beloved piece within private collections worldwide.
