What's A Whisper? - A Delightful Blend of Whisky and Perrier Water
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, titled "What's A Whisper?" by renowned artist Philip William May, takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of a 1906 bar. The scene depicts a dapper gentleman engaging in lively conversation with a charming barmaid as he orders his favorite cocktail – the Whisper. The Whisper, an exquisite concoction that combines the richness of whisky with the refreshing touch of Perrier water, was gaining popularity during this era. This advertisement captures not only the drink itself but also the essence of conviviality and indulgence it represents. May's expertly crafted cartoon-style illustration showcases his talent for capturing human expressions and interactions. The striped dress worn by the barmaid adds a touch of playfulness to her character while emphasizing her role as both server and entertainer. Intriguingly, this artwork offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century social dynamics. It reveals how bars were places where people from all walks of life would gather to unwind after a long day or engage in animated discussions over their favorite libations. As we admire this vintage print today, we are transported to an era when craftsmanship met enjoyment. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced modern world, there is still value in savoring moments shared with friends while enjoying timeless classics like the delightful Whisper cocktail.
