EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical print by Tim Bobbin, the pseudonym of English caricaturist and poet John Collier, depicts two old men engaged in a lively argument. The scene is filled with the wrinkles and character lines that come with age, adding to the humor and relatability of the image. One man, with a mischievous grin, reaches out to pinch his opponent's ear, while the other retaliates by trying to grab his hat. The men's faces are contorted with emotion, with one scowling and the other laughing, adding to the playful and lighthearted tone of the print. Collier, based in Lancashire, was known for his satirical works that often poked fun at the social and political issues of the day. This print, dated 1773, is a testament to his skill as a caricaturist, capturing the essence of human behavior and the universality of disagreements, even among the elderly. The use of exaggerated features and expressions adds to the comedic effect, making this print a delightful and entertaining glimpse into the past. The print is a reminder that even in the most simple and seemingly mundane moments, there can be humor and depth to be found. It also serves as a reminder that, despite the passage of time, human nature remains constant, and disagreements and playful banter will continue to be a part of our lives.
