Facts are Stranger than Fiction
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Humorous Caricature by Stan Terry, 1925 In this delightful caricature by Stan Terry, titled "Facts are Stranger than Fiction," we find ourselves in the midst of an amusing kitchen scene. The flustered cook, with a look of shock and disbelief on his face, is intently perusing a stack of manuscripts spread out before him. The assertive housemaid, her arms crossed and a smirk playing at the corners of her mouth, stands behind him, ready to break the news. Cook (perusing MSS of mistress, a famous novelist): "I say-the missus next book ain't art going to be a scorcher!" Housemaid: "You silly-that's her diary you've got hold of!" Stan Terry, a prolific illustrator of the 1920s, masterfully captures the essence of this humorous moment. Terry's work graced the pages of Punch, The Sketch, The Bystander, and Tatler, among other publications. This particular illustration, dated 1925, showcases Terry's ability to infuse everyday life with a touch of whimsy and humor. The cook's expression of disbelief and the housemaid's knowing smirk create a sense of intrigue and anticipation. The viewer is left wondering what secrets the diary might hold and how the cook will react once he discovers the truth. This caricature is a testament to Terry's skill in capturing the human condition and the unexpected twists that life can bring. As the cook and housemaid continue their exchange, we are reminded that "Facts are Stranger than Fiction." This timeless phrase, often attributed to the English writer, Philip Roth, holds true even today. Terry's illustration invites us to appreciate the humor and absurdity of life, and to find joy in the unexpected twists and turns that come our way.
