EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming colour lithograph print features Mr Wiseman, The Shopkeeper, a character from the set of game cards called "Merry Andrews, The Very Happy Families". Published in 1936 by Scott & Turner Ltd, this game was described as "an amusing game for every member of the family". Mr Wiseman is depicted selling Andrews Liver Salts, a laxative and antacid first sold in 1894. The unattributed illustrations have a delightful vintage feel that captures the essence of the 1930s.
The image transports us back to a time when shopping was an experience filled with humor and whimsy. Mr Wiseman's shop on a bustling shopping street invites us to step inside and explore his wares. His playful expression hints at the comedic nature of the game cards he sells.
With its vibrant colours and detailed depiction of early 20th-century life, this print is not just a piece of art but also a window into a bygone era. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when games like Merry Andrews brought joy and laughter to families across generations.
