EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print from 1913 showcases a hand-coloured photograph of a German drunk. The image, taken by an anonymous German photographer of the 20th century, captures a moment in time that is both intriguing and thought-provoking. In this half-length portrait, we see a disheveled male figure holding onto a bottle while surrounded by vibrant flowers. His intoxicated state is evident through his unsteady posture and glazed eyes. It's as if he exists in his own world, detached from reality. The postcard serves as more than just an artistic representation; it also highlights the significance of communication during this era. Sent via postal service, this image would have been shared between individuals as a means of connection or perhaps even amusement. Looking closer at the details within the photograph itself, we can appreciate the skillful hand-coloring technique used to enhance certain elements such as the flowers and wine bottle. This adds depth and dimension to an already compelling composition. As we reflect on this historical artifact captured over a century ago, it reminds us of how photography has always been able to capture moments that transcend time. It allows us to glimpse into different eras and cultures while evoking emotions that are universal - whether it be fascination or empathy for those who may have struggled with addiction during their lifetime.
