EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled ""Please don't hesitate to say if you prefer your coffee white" (litho)" captures a charming scene from the early twentieth century. Created by Pont (Graham Laidler) in 1940, this illustration was featured in "The British Carry On" a collection of wartime drawings. In the image, we see a gentleman offering to fetch milk for someone who prefers their coffee white. The caption humorously suggests that he is willing to go great lengths just to accommodate their preference. The artist's wit shines through as he depicts the man ready to jump into his car and drive over to the dairy without hesitation. This artwork not only reflects the cultural importance of tea and coffee drinking in England but also provides insight into daily life during World War II. It serves as a reminder of how people found small moments of joy and camaraderie amidst challenging times. The composition showcases an automobile, symbolizing transportation and progress during that era. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene while highlighting the contrast between black coffee and white milk. Overall, this lithograph captures both historical significance and lightheartedness, making it an intriguing piece for any art enthusiast or history lover.
