EDITORS COMMENTS
The £1,000 per Night-ingale (litho) captures the essence of Phil May's humorous and satirical style. This delightful print, part of a private collection, showcases May's talent for creating amusing and witty illustrations. The artwork depicts a scene from the Phil May Album, a compilation curated by Augustus M Moore in 1900. The title itself is a clever play on words, combining the famous opera singer Florence Nightingale with the concept of financial success. In this comical illustration, we see an opera soprano surrounded by piles of money. The exaggerated expression on her face perfectly conveys her delight at earning such a hefty sum for each performance. The intricate details in May's drawings bring this whimsical scene to life. May's work often focused on social commentary and satire, and this piece is no exception. By highlighting the extravagant fees paid to talented performers like this nightingale-like soprano, he pokes fun at society's obsession with wealth and fame. This lithograph serves as a reminder of May's unique artistic vision and his ability to capture humor through his drawings. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both his technical skill and his astute observations about human nature.
