EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour litho print captures a scene of domestic chaos and marital discord. Titled "Drunk husband coming home to his wife late at night" the image portrays a comical yet relatable situation from early 20th-century postcard art. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, is part of a private collection. In this humorous depiction, we witness the consequences of excessive alcohol consumption as a disheveled husband stumbles through the front door in the dead of night. His intoxicated state is evident from his slurred speech and unsteady gait, causing annoyance and disapproval from his waiting wife. Dressed in her nightdress, she confronts him with visible frustration while he attempts to explain himself amidst their heated argument. The artist skillfully captures the emotions involved in this scenario - anger, bitterness, and perhaps even regret - highlighting one of the seven deadly sins: drunkenness. Through clever use of comic elements and exaggerated expressions, this print provides entertainment while shedding light on common human experiences within marriage. This historic postcard serves as both a reminder and cautionary tale about the perils of excessive drinking within relationships. It invites viewers to reflect on their own behavior and consider how emotions can be amplified under such circumstances. With its blend of history, humor, and social commentary, this artwork continues to captivate audiences today.
