EDITORS COMMENTS
The Long, Long Flight lithograph by Poy captures the struggle of a man trying to keep up with the rising cost of living. In this satirical drawing from 1920, we see a man climbing a seemingly endless flight of stairs that represent wage increases and inflation. The image is both humorous and poignant, highlighting the uphill battle many face when it comes to financial stability.
Percy Hutton Fearon, known as Poy, was a talented artist who used his cartoons to comment on social issues such as economics and politics. This particular illustration from 100 Poy Cartoons showcases his wit and skill in caricature.
As we look at this black and white print, we can't help but feel empathy for the man struggling to reach the top of the stairs. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many during times of economic uncertainty.
Whether you interpret The Long, Long Flight as a commentary on mountaineering or simply as a humorous take on money matters, it remains a powerful piece that resonates with audiences today. Its timeless message about perseverance in the face of adversity continues to strike a chord with viewers around the world.
