EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical postcard from the early 20th century captures a moment of culinary chaos in a colorful lithograph. Titled "Cook, having resigned" this image is filled with humor and historical charm. In this scene, we see a chef standing beside his trusty cooker, seemingly overwhelmed by the demands of his job. With an expression of resignation on his face, he has decided to throw in the towel and abandon his cooking duties altogether. The artist's wit shines through as they depict the cook's frustration with exaggerated gestures and facial expressions. Surrounded by lush trees and perched on a tree trunk, this whimsical setting adds an element of nature to the composition. It reminds us that even amidst our daily struggles, there is always beauty to be found in the world around us. Beyond its comedic value, this postcard also offers glimpses into early 20th-century technology and food supply practices. It serves as a playful reminder of how far we have come since then. With its vivid colors and expertly executed lithography technique, this illustration showcases both artistic skill and historical significance. A true gem from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it invites viewers to appreciate not only its humorous qualities but also its place within the broader context of art history.
