No place like lodgings
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful colour litho print that captures the humorous side of staying at a lodging in the early 20th century. The image, part of a private collection, showcases an English School's artistic talent in creating this comical postcard. The scene depicts a landlady serving dinner to her lodger with an amusing twist. The comic element lies in the bad service provided by the landlady, as she presents an unappetizing meal to her guest. The clever use of words adds to the entertainment value of this historical artwork. This print transports us back in time when bed and breakfast accommodations were popular choices for travelers. It reminds us that even then, guests encountered funny situations during their stay. Whether it was hunting for a decent meal or dealing with eccentric hosts, these experiences became fodder for jokes and postcards like this one. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the illustration - from the expressions on both characters' faces to the carefully crafted text accompanying them. This light-hearted portrayal invites viewers to imagine themselves as either party involved – perhaps sympathizing with the hungry lodger or chuckling at the landlady's unintentional humor. "No place like lodgings" serves as a whimsical reminder that even amidst less-than-ideal circumstances, there is always room for laughter and amusement.
