EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print titled "Celery (colour litho)" captures the essence of early 20th-century humor. The comic postcard, part of a private collection, showcases an English School's playful take on a food-related theme. With its bold colors and clever illustration, this piece is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. The image depicts a scene set in a bank building where moneychangers are hard at work. However, instead of dealing with traditional currency, they are shown handling stalks of celery as if they were minted coins. This humorous twist on finance and banking adds an element of surprise and light-heartedness to the artwork. Beyond its comedic value, this print also offers insights into the history of food supply and natural history during that era. It highlights the importance of vegetables like celery in daily meals while subtly commenting on income and wages through the use of wordplay. With its botanical details and outdoor setting, this artwork reminds us of nature's role in our lives. It invites viewers to appreciate fresh air, progress, and the simple pleasure derived from dining outdoors. Overall, "Celery (colour litho)" is not only visually captivating but also provides a glimpse into early 20th-century culture through its blend of humor, science, history, and artistry.
