Say It With Cigars: A Playful Twist on Romance by H.M. Bateman (1887-1970) This delightful illustration by British satirical artist H.M. Bateman, titled "Say It With Cigars," offers a charming and unexpected take on the classic theme of romantic gestures. Instead of the traditional scene of a gentleman presenting chocolates to a lady, Bateman reverses the roles, with the woman on bended knee and extending a cigar case towards her admirer. The woman in the illustration is depicted as enamored, with a dreamy expression on her face and her eyes sparkling with affection. The man, however, is shown to be a bit coy and shy, with his toes pointed together and a finger to his mouth, as if considering her unexpected offer. The year is 1925, and the elegant setting, complete with ornate rugs and luxurious furnishings, adds to the sense of refined sophistication. Bateman's masterful use of humor and wit is evident in the subtle details of the illustration, such as the woman's cigar-shaped fan and the man's surprised expression. The playful inversion of gender roles adds a fresh and entertaining perspective to the notion of romantic expressions, making "Say It With Cigars" a timeless and enduring work of art. Bateman's illustration is a testament to the power of art to entertain, delight, and challenge our expectations. With its charming depiction of an unconventional romantic gesture, "Say It With Cigars" continues to captivate audiences and inspire new interpretations of the art of love.
