EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of 1930s dining culture as depicted in this sequential cartoon by renowned British graphic artist Fougasse (Kenneth Cyril Bird). The captivating image captures the essence of the era's restaurant scene, where elegantly dressed couples eagerly awaited to be acknowledged by the maitre d' for a table. In the first panel, a chic couple enters a grand restaurant, their anticipation evident as they scan the room for the maitre d'. The second panel reveals their growing frustration as they wait, the woman's elegant glove clenched tightly in her hand. The third panel escalates the tension, with the couple's expressions reflecting their mounting annoyance. By the fourth panel, their patience has worn thin, and they resort to shouting for the maitre d's attention. The once refined scene is now filled with disdain and frustration, a far cry from the elegant image they had hoped to project. This humorous and historically significant cartoon, published in 1931, offers a glimpse into the dining experiences of the 1930s. Fougasse masterfully captures the essence of the era's social norms and the human condition, making this a must-see for anyone interested in the history of dining and 1930s culture.
