The British Character - Celebrating the Twelfth of August
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This litho print, created by Pont (Graham Laidler) in 1908-40, beautifully captures the essence of British culture and humor. The image depicts a satirical scene that highlights the importance of the Twelfth of August, also known as the Glorious Twelfth. This date marks the beginning of grouse shooting season on the moors, a cherished tradition in Great Britain. Pont's artwork cleverly portrays various types and characteristics of British people with his signature wit and caricature style. From their temperament to their love for absurdity, every aspect is brilliantly illustrated. The cartoon-like figures evoke laughter while offering a scathing satire on British society. The inclusion of German elements adds an interesting twist to this piece. It subtly hints at cultural exchanges between Germany and Britain during that time period. The artist playfully emphasizes these connections through repeated mentions of "Germany" and "German". This satirical cartoon not only reflects upon British identity but also sheds light on European influences. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this print showcases Pont's exceptional talent in capturing both national pride and self-deprecating humor. Its presence serves as a reminder of how art can transcend borders and bring joy across different cultures.
