EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and whimsical colour lithograph print titled "Breakfast in bed charged extra" by William Henry Ellam captures a delightful scene of anthropomorphized elephants enjoying their morning meal in the comfort of their own bedroom. The satirical drawing, dating back to the early 20th century, humorously depicts the absurdity of charging extra for such a luxury as breakfast in bed.
The playful nature of this postcard-sized artwork is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face with its clever twist on everyday life. The detailed rendering of the elephants sipping tea and munching on food while lounging in bed adds an element of charm and character to the piece.
Ellam's skillful use of colour brings this scene to life, making it feel as though you are right there with these elegant creatures as they start their day off right. The attention to detail in the furniture and decor of the room further enhances the overall composition, creating a sense of warmth and coziness that is truly inviting.
Whether you're a fan of anthropomorphic art or simply enjoy a good joke, "Breakfast in bed charged extra" is sure to delight viewers young and old alike. It serves as a reminder not to take life too seriously and find joy in even the simplest pleasures - like enjoying breakfast in bed with friends.
