EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical postcard print captures the essence of early 20th-century humor. Titled "Ostrich eggs" this color lithograph showcases the creativity and wit of an English artist from that era, identified by the initials SH. The image features a playful scene centered around a food-related theme. Intriguingly, the artwork depicts a group of ostriches standing proudly beside enormous eggs, creating a whimsical twist on reality. These magnificent birds, known for their size and speed, are transformed into providers of oversized breakfast delights. The juxtaposition between nature's wonders and human consumption adds an element of surprise to this humorous composition. The setting appears to be in London, with charming townhouses forming the backdrop for this amusing spectacle. This hints at how even city dwellers can find joy in unexpected places or situations. The artist skillfully uses vivid colors to enhance the jovial atmosphere portrayed in this historic piece. As we admire this delightful postcard print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with humor throughout history. Whether it is through clever visual gags or witty wordplay, artists have long sought to bring laughter into our lives.
