EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical and satirical colour litho titled "I was delighted to hear" captures a humorous moment from the early 20th century. The image features a man holding an ear trumpet to his ear, seemingly listening intently. However, what makes this scene truly comical is the unexpected twist - he is also standing next to a large cannon!
The juxtaposition of the delicate ear trumpet and the powerful cannon creates a sense of irony and absurdity in this postcard illustration. It's as if the man is using both devices to enhance his hearing in drastically different ways - one for subtle sounds and the other for booming explosions.
The playful nature of this artwork is further emphasized by the vibrant colours used in the print, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The detailed depiction of the man's expression adds to the overall humor, making it clear that he is truly delighted by whatever he is hearing through his unusual combination of listening devices.
Overall, "I was delighted to hear" is not only visually striking but also invites viewers to ponder on themes such as perception, communication, and perhaps even how we choose to listen in our daily lives.
