EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph captures the essence of early 20th-century humor with its comic postcard theme. Titled "Ox Tongue or Egg" this print by English School showcases a playful take on food-related jokes. The colorful illustration, part of a private collection, is a delightful representation of the era's comedic sensibilities. The image depicts a scene in which a waiter or waitress is reading out a menu to an amused diner. The menu seems to present two options: ox tongue or egg, leaving the viewer wondering about the peculiar culinary choices available at this restaurant. The humorous twist lies in the absurdity of having such unconventional dishes as main courses. With its vivid colors and expertly executed lithography technique, this artwork transports us back to an earlier time when postcards were popular forms of communication and entertainment. It evokes nostalgia for an era filled with laughter and lightheartedness. As we admire this historical gem from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded that art can not only be aesthetically pleasing but also serve as windows into different periods in history. This print invites us to reflect on how our sense of humor has evolved over time while appreciating the timeless joy that comedy brings to our lives.
