EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous colour litho print titled "At Bolton" captures the essence of early 20th-century life with a satirical twist. The image depicts a young boy looking worried as he exclaims, "What can a fellow do on a penny a week with these inflated prices?" The postcard-style artwork reflects the economic struggles faced by many during that time period, highlighting the challenges of poverty and inflation.
The artist's use of vibrant colours and detailed imagery brings this scene to life, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. The boy's expression conveys his concern over his limited funds in a lighthearted manner, adding an element of humor to the piece.
Through this satirical drawing, the English School artist cleverly comments on societal issues such as precariousness and destitution while also providing comic relief. The combination of satire and childlike innocence creates a compelling narrative that resonates with viewers today.
Overall, "At Bolton" is not only visually striking but also offers insight into the hardships faced by individuals living in an era plagued by financial difficulties. This print serves as a reminder of how art can be used to reflect upon social issues in an engaging and impactful way.
