EDITORS COMMENTS
The Catch of the Season (colour litho) captures a whimsical moment in early 20th-century England. This delightful postcard print, part of a private collection, showcases an English couple dressed to the nines for a grand ball. The woman is adorned in an exquisite ballgown, while her partner sports an evening dress and a monocle. However, what makes this image truly captivating is the unexpected twist. Both individuals wear expressions of disappointment and sadness on their faces, contrasting with their extravagant attire. It seems that despite all the effort put into their appearance, they have experienced some kind of letdown or unfulfilled expectation. The artist behind this humorous satire has skillfully captured human emotions through fashion and costume. The exaggerated features highlight feelings of unhappiness and melancholy within society's obsession with appearances. This postcard serves as both entertainment and social commentary, reminding us not to judge happiness solely based on outward appearances. It invites viewers to reflect on the complex nature of human emotion beneath even the most glamorous facades. Bridgeman Images' reproduction ensures that this charming piece remains accessible for art enthusiasts who appreciate its amusing narrative and artistic brilliance.
