EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, created by the talented cartoonist Phil May in the 1890s, transports us back to a time of humor and satire. The image features a young girl, dolled up with an elaborate hat, engaging in a playful interaction with two mischievous boys. With its amusing composition and clever details, this cartoon is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. May's satirical drawing skillfully captures the essence of human relationships and social dynamics. The exaggerated expressions on each character's face reveal their affections and intentions. The sailor boy stands out with his distinctive attire, adding an element of adventure to the scene. The artist's scathing satire is evident as he pokes fun at societal norms and gender roles through this light-hearted portrayal. Through his caricature style, May highlights the humorous aspects of life while subtly commenting on issues surrounding sex and relationships. Originally published in Phil Mays Sketch Book: Fifty Cartoons (Popular edition), this print has become an iconic representation of May's wit and talent. Preserved within a private collection until now, it offers viewers a glimpse into the artistic brilliance that made him one of the most celebrated cartoonists of his time. Whether you are drawn to its entertaining narrative or appreciate its historical significance as a piece from the late 19th century, this lithograph by Phil May is bound to be an intriguing addition to any art enthusiast's collection.
