EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print captures a humorous scene from the early 20th century. Titled "The Would Be Orator: Man Delivering a Boring Speech at a Dinner" it showcases an English School's comical depiction of a man delivering an incredibly dull speech during dinner. The postcard, part of a private collection, perfectly encapsulates the feeling of boredom and misery that can arise from tedious oratory. In this amusing image, we see the long-suffering guests seated around the table in their white ties, struggling to stay awake as they listen to the speaker. Yawning faces and expressions of utter boredom adorn their features, highlighting their desperate attempts to endure this tiresome ordeal. The artist skillfully portrays not only the tedium experienced by those forced to listen but also captures the emotions felt by both speaker and audience alike. This comic illustration serves as a reminder that even in historical settings, people have always sought entertainment and fun amidst mundane situations. "The Would Be Orator" is more than just a simple postcard; it is an entertaining glimpse into history that continues to resonate with audiences today. Whether you find yourself sympathizing with the bored listeners or chuckling at the hapless speaker's futile attempts at engaging his audience, this artwork offers timeless humor for all who encounter it.
