I don't want him, my dear - you buy him,
EDITORS COMMENTS
reads the witty caption in H.M. Bateman's iconic 1930s cartoon, "I don't want him, my dear." In this charming and humorous print, two elegantly dressed women, adorned in modern evening wear and holding cigarettes, scrutinize an unassuming male figure. The man, dressed in a frumpy suit and looking rather geeky and unpromising, stands awkwardly before them, seemingly unaware of the conversation taking place behind his back. The sophisticated ladies engage in a lighthearted exchange, with one suggesting the purchase of the man as a solution to their marital woes. The cartoon captures the essence of the 1930s social scene, where material possessions and appearances held great importance, and snobbery and snobbery were common themes in society. Despite the man's unattractive appearance, the women seem to find amusement in the situation, perhaps seeing it as a clever way to secure a husband and avoid the single life. Bateman's use of humor and satire adds to the appeal of the print, making it a beloved piece of cartoon art from the era. The print's timeless humor and commentary on the human condition continue to resonate with audiences today, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage cartoons or art from the 1930s. Whether displayed in a home, office, or gallery, "I don't want him, my dear" is sure to bring a smile to the faces of all who see it.
