EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page from The British Working Man or One Who Does Not Believe In Him" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of British humor and satire. The engraving, created by an English School artist and engraved by Dalziel Brothers, is part of a collection called "The British Working Man or One Who Does Not Believe In Him and other sketches" by J F Sullivan. In this comical scene, we witness the meeting between two friends on a street corner. With exaggerated smiles plastered on their faces, they pretend to be glad to see each other while concealing their true feelings. Their fixed grins appear unnatural and almost ghastly, adding an amusing touch to the piece. The artwork cleverly captures the essence of practical comedy as it portrays these characters in an awkward encounter. It seems that one friend has arrived late for their appointment, causing both individuals to feel embarrassedly caught off guard. Through its satirical approach, this engraving offers a humorous commentary on social interactions within Great Britain during that era. It playfully highlights the absurdity of pretending happiness when deep down inside one may feel quite differently. With its witty portrayal of friendship dynamics and its satirical take on societal norms, this print serves as a delightful reminder of British culture's rich history in comedy and entertainment.
