British Bread, and British Bred (Colour Litho)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful postcard from the early 20th century that captures the essence of British humor and food culture. The comic illustration depicts a scene centered around bread, an essential staple in every Briton's diet. In this charming image, we see a newborn baby cleverly placed inside a loaf of white bread. This playful visual pun highlights the connection between "bread" as sustenance and "bred" as lineage or heritage. It humorously suggests that this little one is truly British bred! The postcard reflects the historical context of its time, with references to agriculture, farming, and breeding practices. It also alludes to the challenging period of World War I when rationing was prevalent in Britain. The image subtly reminds viewers about the importance of food supply during times of conflict. With its vibrant colors and expert lithography technique, this artwork showcases both artistic skill and wit. It invites us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the humorous side of life. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let it serve as a reminder that art can bring joy even in difficult times. Whether through laughter or reflection on history's lessons, "British Bread, and British Bred (Colour Litho)" offers us an opportunity to appreciate both our cultural heritage and our shared humanity
