The Hair Doesn't Justify - A Mockery of the Pitfalls in Lithographic Printing
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 19th-century cartoon print, titled "The Hair Doesn't Justify" humorously exposes the challenges faced during the lithographic printing process. Created by an anonymous English School artist, this illustration was featured in The British Printer publication in 1893. With a touch of jest and wit, the cartoon depicts a man with an outrageously hairy head, poking fun at the difficulties encountered while attempting to achieve flawless prints. The exaggerated bouffant hairstyle serves as a comical representation of the obstacles that lithographers often encountered when trying to produce precise and accurate images. Set against a black-and-white backdrop, this satirical artwork transports us back to an era where print shops were bustling with activity. It offers a glimpse into the history of printing techniques and reminds us of how far we have come since then. The British Printer publication aimed to entertain its readership through humorous illustrations like this one. This particular piece showcases not only artistic talent but also highlights the importance of laughter and lightheartedness amidst technical challenges. As we admire this amusing depiction from our private collection, let us appreciate both its historical significance and its ability to bring joy through mockery. It is indeed fascinating how even centuries later, art continues to transcend time and evoke emotions within us all.
