EDITORS COMMENTS
Bunty Pulls the Strings: A Comical Tale of Outmaneuvering Love in the 1910s In this scene from the early 1900s, artist Graham Mofatt masterfully captures the essence of a popular theatrical comedy through his print, "Bunty Pulls the Strings." The third card in the series, created by E. Chandler, depicts a woman named Susie, standing confidently in a parlor interior. She is dressed in elegant attire, her gaze fixed on the decanter of amber liquid on the table beside her. The anticipation in her eyes is palpable as she takes a sip, her heart filled with longing for Tammas. However, the seemingly simple moment is not what it appears to be. Bunty, the unseen puppet master, skillfully manipulates the situation behind the scenes. Mofatt's intriguing title hints at Bunty's cunning plan, as Susie's dreams of marriage to Tammas are about to be dashed. The border of the card, adorned with a tartan design, adds to the playful and comical atmosphere of the scene. The 1910s setting is further emphasized by the theatrical elements, including the dimly lit parlor and the ornate glass decanter. This print offers a glimpse into the world of popular entertainment during the early 1900s, where love, comedy, and the art of manipulation intertwined on the stage. Bunty's masterful manipulation of Susie's heart serves as a reminder that love is not always as simple as it seems and that sometimes, the strings are pulled from behind the scenes.
