EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming colour lithograph captures the essence of "The Limerick Craze" that swept through early 20th century Europe. The postcard, a popular form of communication at the time, features a humorous scene with a group of well-dressed individuals engrossed in reading limericks from an illustrated dictionary.
The image depicts a diverse cast of characters including a butler, maidservant, and other attendants gathered around to enjoy the witty verses. The women in the picture are portrayed as elegant and refined, adding a touch of femininity to the light-hearted atmosphere.
Limericks, known for their playful and often risqué nature, were all the rage during this period. Originating from Ireland, these short poems became popular across Europe for their clever wordplay and comedic punchlines.
The artist has captured the joy and laughter shared among friends as they indulge in these comical verses. The vibrant colours used in the lithograph bring out the liveliness of the scene, making it feel like you are right there with them.
"The Limerick Craze" is not just a snapshot of history but also a reminder of how humour transcends time and brings people together. This print is sure to add character and charm to any space it graces.
