Bill Check Companion Dinner Displays Eating Entitled Glamorous Night Life Quarter Receiving Restaurant Shock Slight

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print entitled "We Have Met With A Slight Check in one Quarter," we are transported back to the social scene of 1914 Britain. The image captures a moment of shock and disbelief on the face of a man as he receives the bill after a dinner with his rather glamorous companion. The man's expression is priceless, reflecting the universal feeling of surprise when faced with an unexpectedly high restaurant bill. His companion, looking elegant and composed, adds an element of glamour to the scene. This snapshot from early 20th century night life provides a glimpse into the social history of the time, showcasing not only the dining habits but also the humor and reactions that were common among couples during that era. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we can't help but imagine what might have led to such a shocking revelation for our protagonists. Was it an extravagant meal? Or perhaps they indulged in one too many drinks? Whatever the reason may be, this image serves as a reminder that some things never change - receiving the check at the end of a meal will always come as a slight shock!
