EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Only 11 shillings and sixpence, and it won't talk back" we are transported to the early 20th century. The image features a man standing in front of a shop window filled with postcards. His gaze is fixed on one particular card that seems to have caught his attention. The postcard represents more than just a simple piece of paper; it symbolizes the complexities of relationships and communication. As the caption suggests, for only 11 shillings and sixpence, this card offers an escape from the challenges faced within marriage or any relationship dynamic. The mannequin displayed alongside the postcards serves as a metaphorical representation of desires and wants that may not be met within real-life relationships. It highlights how individuals often seek solace in material objects rather than engaging in open dialogue with their partners. Through this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of the common problems faced by couples - arguments, choosing between options, and wanting something different from what they currently have. The woman depicted on the postcard becomes an embodiment of these desires. This photograph captures both nostalgia for simpler times when postcards were popular means of communication, as well as timeless themes surrounding human connection. It invites us to reflect on our own relationships while appreciating art's ability to encapsulate complex emotions within a single frame.
