EDITORS COMMENTS
Bank Holiday of the Period captures the essence of amusement and satire in a single frame. Edward Tennyson Reed, known for his humorous illustrations, brings to life a prehistoric world filled with laughter and entertainment. This satirical cartoon from Punch magazine takes us back to a time when bank holidays were celebrated even in ancient times. In this amusing scene, we see cavemen enjoying their day off at a funfair specially designed for their era. The artist's wit shines through as he cleverly incorporates elements of modern-day amusements into this prehistoric setting. From roller coasters made of logs to stone-age Ferris wheels, every detail adds to the comical nature of the image. Reed's scathing satire is evident as he pokes fun at both historical periods simultaneously. Through exaggerated caricatures and witty commentary, he highlights the similarities between our own bank holiday traditions and those enjoyed by our ancestors thousands of years ago. This print not only offers an entertaining glimpse into history but also reminds us that humor has always been an essential part of human culture. It serves as a delightful reminder that even during ancient times, people found ways to enjoy themselves and find amusement in everyday life. With its timeless appeal and whimsical charm, Bank Holiday of the Period continues to captivate viewers with its blend of history and comedy.
