EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph captures the intrigue and danger of smuggling in the early 20th century. The detailed illustration, part of a set of cigarette cards issued by Ogden's in 1932, depicts a scene from 'The Stage', showcasing smugglers at work. The rich hues and intricate details bring this historic moment to life, allowing viewers to step back in time and witness the illicit activities that were prevalent during this era.
The English School artist behind this piece has expertly captured the essence of smuggling - from the secretive exchanges to the hidden contraband being transported under cover of darkness. Each figure is meticulously rendered, their expressions hinting at the risks they face as they navigate through treacherous terrain.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a world where lawlessness reigns supreme and cunning tactics are employed to outsmart authorities. The history and drama depicted in 'The Stage' serve as a reminder of our past struggles with illegal activities and highlight the ingenuity of those who sought to evade detection.
This striking image serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a historical snapshot that sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of our collective past.
