EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful lithograph titled "What's fourteen days" captures a humorous scene from the early 20th century. The postcard features a group of criminals, including thugs, bandits, and gangsters, who have been punished and sanctioned for their crimes. The image playfully suggests that these malefactors are questioning the severity of their punishment, as they wonder what exactly constitutes fourteen days of correction.
The artist, Charles Thomas Howard (1865-1942), has created a whimsical portrayal of criminality in this piece. The vibrant colors and detailed illustrations bring to life the characters and their expressions as they contemplate their fate.
This postcard serves as both a joke and a commentary on crime and punishment in society. It invites viewers to consider the consequences of illegal behavior while also providing entertainment through its clever depiction of mischievous individuals facing retribution.
"What's fourteen days" is not just a simple print; it is a snapshot of history that reflects societal attitudes towards lawbreakers during the early 20th century in Britain. Through this artwork, we can glimpse into the past and appreciate the creativity and humor that artists like Howard brought to their work.
