EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful and whimsical color lithograph, we are transported to the early 20th century, where a woman finds solace in reading the Winning Post while sipping on a glass of port. This charming postcard captures a moment of leisure and indulgence as she immerses herself in the world of horse racing. The woman, dressed elegantly with stockings peeking out from beneath her skirt, sits comfortably engrossed in the pages of the newspaper. Her glasses perched upon her nose suggest an intellectual curiosity as she delves into the latest news and updates from the racing world. The cartoon-like quality of this image adds a touch of humor to her serious demeanor. As we observe this scene, it becomes evident that there is more than meets the eye. The combination of reading material and beverage choice hints at a playful satire surrounding gambling culture and its associated vices. It invites us to ponder whether she is merely enjoying a light-hearted pastime or if there is something deeper hidden within these satirical undertones. This print not only showcases artistic skill but also serves as a testament to our fascination with both entertainment and escapism throughout history. Whether you appreciate it for its comedic value or admire its intricate details, this piece by English School offers an intriguing glimpse into an era gone by – one where laughter mingled effortlessly with social commentary.
