EDITORS COMMENTS
In this comical and entertaining postcard print titled "Man choosing a servant straight from the country" we are transported to an early 20th-century scene filled with humour and wit. The English School artist captures the amusing predicament of a man in search of household help, as he navigates through a market teeming with potential candidates. With his list of references in hand, the older gentleman is determined to find the perfect servant for his wife's running household. However, it seems that his task is not without its difficulties. As he surveys the group of young girls vying for employment, each one brings their own set of problems - some appearing rather stupid or lacking experience. The vibrant colours and comic style add to the overall charm of this piece, making it both visually appealing and humorous. This light-hearted portrayal highlights the challenges faced by individuals seeking domestic staff during that era. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we can't help but chuckle at the absurdity unfolding before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with daunting tasks such as hiring servants, finding joy in life's little quirks can make all the difference.
