EDITORS COMMENTS
An Englishman's Home, 1909 This comic postcard from the Edwardian era, dated 1909, presents a humorous and lighthearted take on the dynamics of marriage and the potential dangers that lurk within the comforts of one's own home. The image depicts a large, wimpish Englishman cowering in fear behind a broken lamp or lantern, while his wife, a formidable figure, brandishes a poker with a threatening expression. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a cat and a parrot, adding to the chaos and unpredictability of the situation. The Englishman, with his round, rosy cheeks and wide-eyed expression, embodies the stereotype of a timid and fearful husband, while his wife, with her robust build and determined gaze, represents the dominant and fiery wife. The contrast between their sizes and demeanors adds to the comedic effect of the image. Despite the apparent danger, the Englishman seems to be enjoying the game of poker, with a smirk playing on his lips, suggesting that he may be feigning fear for amusement. The wife's response, however, is genuine, as evidenced by the fear in her eyes and the tense posture of her body. The image also features a bucket in the foreground, which may be a reference to the common household chore of carrying water or other heavy items. The inclusion of this mundane object adds a touch of authenticity to the scene, making it relatable to the audience of the time. Overall, An Englishman's Home, 1909, is a delightful and amusing representation of the joys and challenges of married life in the early 1900s. The use of humor and exaggerated stereotypes makes it a popular collectible and a fascinating glimpse into the past.
