EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and humorous color lithograph from the early 20th century, we see a scene of everyday life captured with delightful detail. A policeman and a young boy are engaged in a spirited argument over a three-penny bit, their faces animated with expressions of determination and defiance.
The boy, with his tousled hair and mischievous grin, clutches the coin tightly in his hand as he stands toe-to-toe with the uniformed officer. The policeman, stern-faced but clearly amused by the boy's audacity, points an accusatory finger in his direction.
This postcard image captures a moment of playful rivalry between two unlikely adversaries. The contrast between the authority figure of the policeman and the innocence of the child creates a dynamic tension that is both endearing and comical.
Set against a backdrop of bustling city streets, this scene reminds us of simpler times when even a small sum like a three-penny bit could spark heated debates among friends. It is a snapshot of everyday life in turn-of-the-century Britain that continues to resonate with viewers today.
With its vibrant colors and lively composition, this print is sure to bring joy and laughter to any space it adorns.
