Character Eating Eggs Lawson Monkey Orang Pong Rotten Smell Utan


EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful and humorous illustration by the renowned British artist Lawson Wood, created in 1934, features the famous orangutan character Granpop sharing a moment with a small monkey friend. The scene unfolds around a table laden with boiled eggs, as the young monkey presents an old and rather questionable-looking egg to Granpop, inquiring, "Is this what they mean by pre-war Granpop?" The expression on Granpop's face is priceless as he takes in the sight and smell of the rotten egg, while the young monkey looks on with a mixture of curiosity and amusement. Wood's masterful use of line, shade, and humor brings these two characters to life, transporting us back in time to an era long past. The pungent aroma of the rotten egg adds an extra layer of humor to the scene, as the viewer can almost smell the pong emanating from the illustration. Wood's ability to capture the essence of Granpop's character, with his wise and gentle demeanor, is a testament to his extraordinary talent. This illustration is a wonderful reminder of the simpler joys of life and the enduring appeal of Wood's work. It is a timeless piece that continues to bring smiles and laughter to all who see it, making it a must-have for any collection of classic illustrations or humorous art.
