EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical color lithograph from the early 20th century titled "The crane. This ugly bird has a resemblance to you" by French School is a humorous and scathing commentary on human behavior. The anthropomorphic depiction of a crane wearing a hat and clothes, walking down the street, serves as an insult to its intended recipient.
The artist uses humor and wit to point out the ugliness in both appearance and manners, comparing it to that of the unattractive bird. The cartoonish style adds to the comedic effect, making light of what could be considered rude or offensive.
Through this postcard print, viewers are encouraged to reflect on their own actions and appearances, perhaps recognizing similarities with the unflattering characteristics portrayed in the image. The use of satire allows for a lighthearted approach to addressing potentially sensitive topics.
Overall, this artwork serves as a reminder not to take oneself too seriously and encourages self-reflection with a touch of humor. It is a playful yet thought-provoking piece that challenges societal norms and expectations through clever visual storytelling.
