EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and comical lithograph by Tony Sarg, we witness a man fearlessly strolling beneath a ladder, oblivious to the superstitions that surround him. The scene is set in the early 20th century, captured on a postcard that brings forth both laughter and contemplation. The image portrays an amusing twist on the age-old belief of bad luck associated with walking under ladders. As our protagonist confidently strides forward, surrounded by a curious crowd, one cannot help but wonder what misfortune awaits him. Will he indeed fall victim to the infamous curse? Sarg's satirical drawing skillfully captures the essence of slapstick comedy as it unfolds before our eyes. With his trusty walking stick in hand and an expression of nonchalance on his face, the man seems impervious to any potential danger looming above. This whimsical artwork serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with superstitions but also of our ability to challenge them head-on. It invites us to question societal norms and encourages us to embrace humor even in situations where caution might be advised. Through its clever use of caricature and vibrant colors, this print offers viewers both entertainment and food for thought. It reminds us that sometimes it takes courage – or perhaps sheer ignorance – to defy conventions and pave our own path through life's unpredictable journey.
