Every Man Rides His Own Hobby
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful chromolitho print from the 19th century that captures the essence of American humor and advertising. In this whimsical scene, we see a well-dressed gentleman riding on a model train, surrounded by various carriages and coal tenders. With a satchel in one hand and a purse in the other, he seems to be enjoying his unique hobby. The satirical cartoon offers us an amusing glimpse into everyday life during that era. The man's top hat adds an air of sophistication to his otherwise playful demeanor as he holds onto his wonderful soap tightly. Perhaps this soap represents cleanliness or purity, symbolizing the importance of personal hygiene even in leisurely pursuits. This artwork also reflects societal values at the time, with laundry being depicted as both necessary and enjoyable. It reminds us that even mundane tasks like washing can become sources of amusement when approached with creativity and imagination. Created by an unknown American artist, this satirical drawing showcases their talent for caricature and scathing satire. It serves as a reminder of how art can entertain while offering commentary on cultural norms. This particular print is part of a private collection owned by Barbara Loe, who has graciously shared it with Look and Learn magazine. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its charm and historical significance without commercial intentions.
