EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming sketch, titled "What She Really Thinks," from the esteemed French caricature magazine "Les Maitres de la Caricature," dates back to June 13, 1901. The image depicts a jovial man with a young woman playfully seated on his lap within the cozy confines of a room interior. The man's mischievous grin and the woman's delighted laughter suggest a lighthearted moment between the two. However, the caption that accompanies the print adds an intriguing layer to the scene. Translated from the original French, it reads, "Me, what I prefer to touch is your money!" This caption, with its clever wordplay and double entendre, adds a layer of complexity to the image. The man's true intentions are revealed, and the woman's laughter takes on a new meaning. The sketch, therefore, becomes a commentary on the nature of human relationships and the role that material wealth plays in them. This print is part of the "March of the Women" collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a vast archive of historical images. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the early 20th century, providing valuable insights into the past and enriching our understanding of history.
