EDITORS COMMENTS
The "Please, mother, will you tell me a story?" peril captures the chaotic yet relatable scene of a busy household in the 1930s. Illustrated by Pont (Graham Laidler), this lithograph print showcases his exceptional talent as a Punch artist. In this satirical and humorous depiction, we see a frustrated housewife overwhelmed by her daily tasks. Surrounded by billowing smoke from burning pots and pans, she is approached by her young son who pleads for her attention with the words, "Please, mother, will you tell me a story?". The child's innocent request adds to the chaos of the moment. The caricatured figures and exaggerated expressions add depth to this domestic interior scene. The mother's irritation is palpable as she tries to manage both cooking and childcare simultaneously. Pont skillfully portrays the universal struggle faced by many mothers during that era. This engraving serves as social commentary on gender roles and expectations within households at that time. It highlights the challenges faced by women in balancing their responsibilities while also meeting their children's needs for love and attention. As part of The Stapleton Collection in Bridgeman Images' private collection, this artwork offers viewers an insight into 20th-century life through its clever satire and artistic brilliance.
