EDITORS COMMENTS
Just by way of a change (colour litho) captures the humorous and comical side of early 20th-century postcards. This delightful print, part of a private collection, showcases the wit and entertainment that these cards brought to people's lives. In this particular image, we see a drunk bobby, or policeman, trying to maintain order amidst a group of gentlemen who have clearly had one too many drinks. The scene is filled with laughter as the intoxicated individuals stumble about in their disarrayed state. It is evident that alcohol has played its part in creating this amusing scenario. The artist behind this colour lithograph remains unknown but has masterfully captured the essence of fun and lightheartedness within this historical context. The exaggerated expressions on each character's face add an extra layer of amusement to the overall composition. Postcards like these were immensely popular during their time and served as a source of entertainment for many. They provided an escape from everyday life through their clever jokes and playful imagery. This print serves as a reminder of how humor can transcend time and continue to bring joy even decades later. Whether displayed in homes or shared among friends, 'Just by way of a change' will always be cherished for its ability to evoke smiles and laughter.
