EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous chromolitho print titled "Would you like to go halves in that?" captures the essence of greed and wealth in the 19th century. The illustration depicts a wealthy man, adorned with extravagant jewels and wearing a black tie suit complete with a monocle. With a cigar in hand, he exudes an air of opulence and arrogance. The satirical nature of the artwork highlights the miserly nature of this affluent individual. His outstretched hand suggests that he is proposing to split something, perhaps referring to his immense wealth or possessions. The rings on his fingers symbolize his obsession with materialistic gains. The artist's attention to detail is evident through the intricate rendering of clothing and accessories, showcasing Victorian fashion trends. This piece offers insight into societal values during this era, where accumulating wealth was highly regarded. Through its clever satire, this print invites viewers to reflect on themes such as greed and excessiveness while providing entertainment through its comical portrayal. It serves as a reminder that even amidst opulence, there can be underlying flaws within human character. This artwork from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into history while appreciating the artistic techniques employed by English School artists during the 19th century.
