His Royal Pudding Face
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Roaring Twenties Caricature by Fish, 1927 This Art Deco illustration, titled "His Royal Pudding Face," is a witty and humorous depiction of a night-club owner's audacious insult towards a Prince, created by the renowned British cartoonist, Fish, in 1927. The image is a testament to the vibrant and irreverent spirit of the Jazz Age. Fish, whose real name was Frederick Barnard, was a prolific and influential figure in the world of British satire and cartooning during the 1920s. His work was known for its sharp wit, social commentary, and distinctive Art Deco style. This illustration, in particular, is a prime example of Fish's ability to capture the essence of the Roaring Twenties, a time of decadence, excess, and cultural transformation. The illustration depicts a ginger-haired Prince, dressed in formal attire, with an expression of indignation on his face, as he is being berated by a night-club owner, who is depicted as a rotund, leering figure, with a cigar in hand and a smirk on his face. The night-club, with its Art Deco motifs, is in the background, and the atmosphere is filled with the sounds of jazz music and the aroma of gin. The cartoon's title, "His Royal Pudding Face," adds to the humor of the situation, as the night-club owner's insult is both crude and absurd. The illustration is a reminder of the irreverent and often ribald sense of humor that was prevalent during the Jazz Age, and it continues to be a fascinating glimpse into the past. This illustration, with its intricate Art Deco details and its timeless sense of humor, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of cartooning, the Roaring Twenties, or the Art Deco movement. It is a reminder of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the spirit of the times.
