EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous lithograph by Poy (Percy Hutton Fearon) captures the essence of the early 20th century with its satirical take on two fat men reading the Profiteering Bill of 1919. Titled "What They All Say," the illustration depicts the men nonchalantly dismissing their weight gain as mere comfort, showcasing a lighthearted approach to a serious issue.
The scene is brought to life through Poy's skilled hand, as he expertly portrays the men engrossed in their reading while subtly poking fun at their size. The attention to detail in this piece is impeccable, from the expressions on the characters' faces to the intricate rendering of their surroundings.
Originally published in 1920 as part of "100 Poy Cartoons," this print offers a glimpse into English society during a time of economic turmoil and social change. Through his art, Poy sheds light on issues such as profiteering and greed, using humor as a tool for commentary.
As we admire this vintage artwork today, we are reminded of how timeless satire can be and how art has always been a powerful medium for reflection and critique. "What They All Say" continues to resonate with viewers, inviting us to ponder its message while enjoying its clever wit.
