EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and humorous colour litho print by Frederick George Lewin. The image depicts a man and his nephew looking longingly into a restaurant window, with the boy expressing his desire to be as "roomy" as his uncle is hungry. This early 20th-century postcard captures a playful moment between the two characters, highlighting themes of hunger, gluttony, and the innocence of childhood.
The satirical drawing offers a scathing commentary on human nature and our insatiable appetites. The interaction between the man and his nephew reflects on societal attitudes towards food consumption and excess. Through clever wordplay and witty humor, Lewin invites viewers to reflect on their own desires and impulses when it comes to indulging in food.
With its vibrant colours and detailed composition, this print evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when jokes were innocent yet thought-provoking. The juxtaposition of the man's hunger with the boy's curiosity creates a dynamic tension that adds depth to the scene.
Overall, "I wish I were as hungry as you, Tommy" is not just a simple cartoon but a reflection on human emotions, relationships, and societal norms surrounding food consumption. It serves as a reminder to find joy in life's little moments while also being mindful of our actions and desires.
