EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant and comical lithograph titled "I was only teasing you" captures a snapshot of domestic life in the early 20th century. With its playful yet thought-provoking imagery, this postcard print offers a glimpse into the dynamics of married life during that era. In this amusing scene, we witness a humorous exchange between a husband and wife. The woman, clearly unamused by her husband's teasing, playfully retaliates by throwing her shoe at him while he sits comfortably smoking his pipe. The exaggerated violence depicted here is meant to evoke laughter rather than promote harm. This artwork not only showcases the artist's talent for capturing humor but also sheds light on societal norms and gender roles of the time. It hints at the power dynamics within relationships and highlights how women often used humor as an outlet to express their frustrations. Despite its lighthearted nature, there is an underlying sense of sadness and melancholy present in this image. It serves as a reminder that even amidst moments of fun and entertainment, unhappiness can linger beneath the surface. "I was only teasing you" is more than just a comic postcard; it encapsulates historical emotions and provides us with valuable insights into past experiences. This piece from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to reflect on both the joys and challenges faced by couples throughout history.
