EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Thank you, sir; you're a gentleman!" captures a fascinating moment in history. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection and showcases loose illustrations from Photos and Sketches circa 1895. The image depicts an intriguing scene set within public transportation - specifically, a bus. It explores themes of gender identity and societal norms prevalent during that era. A woman dressed as a man can be seen engaging with another passenger who appears to be expressing gratitude towards her. This artwork offers us a glimpse into the complexities surrounding homosexuality and cross-dressing during the 1890s. The inclusion of stereotypes such as hats, ties, and traditional manners further emphasizes the contrast between societal expectations and personal expression. While it may have been considered naughty or even scandalous at the time, this lithograph challenges conventional notions of sexuality and invites viewers to reflect on historical perspectives. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to provoke discussions about sexual inversion throughout history. As we observe this thought-provoking piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate how art has always played an essential role in documenting diverse human experiences while pushing boundaries along the way.
