EDITORS COMMENTS
This early 20th century Comic German postcard, titled "The Cavalier" by Arthur Thiele, presents a humorous and satirical take on chivalry and gentlemanly behavior. The image depicts a grossly overweight man, dressed in a top hat and tails, attempting to shield himself and two equally voluminous women from the rain with a small umbrella. The women, who are equally unprotected, are shown looking displeased and soggy, while raindrops cascade down their faces. The man's unchivalrous and thoughtless behavior is further emphasized by the contrast between his large, protective umbrella and the size of his own body and that of the women. The scene is set in the wet and gloomy weather, adding to the overall mood of the postcard. Arthur Thiele, a renowned German cartoonist and illustrator, was known for his witty and humorous depictions of everyday life. "The Cavalier" is a prime example of his ability to poke fun at societal norms and expectations, in this case, the idea of a gallant and chivalrous gentleman. The postcard's title, "The Cavalier," is a nod to the historical concept of a knight or gentleman, who was expected to protect and serve those around him. However, Thiele's interpretation of this notion is far from the idealized version, instead highlighting the absurdity and shortcomings of such behavior in the modern world. Overall, "The Cavalier" is a delightful and amusing snapshot of early 20th century German humor, offering a unique perspective on the role of men and chivalry in society.
