EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and humorous cartoon by the British artist Horace Sydney Hebblethwaite, published as the last contribution to The Bystander magazine in 1914. This image transports us to the Mediterranean shores of Venice, Italy, where people are making the most of a hot summer night. The cartoon depicts a scene of Italian life, with residents sitting on the rooftops of their houses, enjoying the balmy evening. A woman hangs out the washing on a line, while another plays a guitar and sings. Some are fanning themselves with parasols or pillows, trying to catch a breeze. Others are asleep, with their windows open to catch the cool night air. The roofs are adorned with colorful tiles and pantiles, adding to the vibrant and historic atmosphere. In the distance, we see the silhouette of the Venetian skyline, with its iconic bell towers and domes. The stars twinkle in the night sky, adding to the serene and romantic setting. The scene is filled with small details that add to the humor and charm of the cartoon. For example, a man is seen eating spaghetti from a plate on the roof, while another is sleeping with a fan in his hand. The cartoon is a delightful snapshot of Italian life, capturing the essence of a hot summer night in Venice. Horace Sydney Hebblethwaite was a renowned cartoonist, known for his humorous and observant take on everyday life. "Night in Venice" is a fitting finale to his work for The Bystander, showcasing his talent for capturing the human condition in a light-hearted and entertaining way. This historic cartoon remains a beloved and enduring image of Venice and the joys of a hot summer night.
