EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Not Quite the Cheese!" captures a satirical engraving by an English School artist from the 19th century. This amusing and comic illustration was originally created for Punch magazine, published on 16 February 1878. The artwork, now part of a private collection, showcases the artist's wit and humor through cleverly depicted scenes related to food supply. In this particular image, we see a humorous take on cheese production. The cartoon-like drawing features various characters engaged in comical activities surrounding a giant wheel of Gruyere cheese. With its exaggerated proportions and playful details, the engraving invites viewers into a world where satire reigns supreme. This satirical cartoon not only provides entertainment but also offers scathing social commentary on food supply during that era. Through caricature and exaggeration, it highlights potential issues or shortcomings within the industry while eliciting laughter from its audience. The "Not Quite the Cheese!" engraving is an excellent example of how art can be used to convey messages in unconventional ways. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today with its blend of humor and critique.
