Wake up, dear friends, and do write (right)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful colour lithograph that captures the essence of a humorous moment in church. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 20th century, depicts a congregation blissfully unaware of their surroundings as they sleep through an impassioned sermon. The cartoon-like drawing showcases a preacher standing at the pulpit, delivering his message with fervor while the audience remains oblivious to his words. The satirical nature of this artwork is evident in its scathing satire on human behavior and our tendency to fall asleep when we should be paying attention. The stone church depicted in the background adds architectural beauty to the scene, emphasizing both the grandeur and solemnity of religious spaces. The monument stands tall as if symbolizing how even within these sacred walls, people can still succumb to slumber. This postcard from the early 20th century serves as a playful reminder for us all to stay awake and engaged in life's important moments. It reminds us not only of our own occasional lapses into drowsiness but also highlights our shared humanity through humor. With its charming caricatures and clever message, "Wake up, dear friends, and do write (right)" invites viewers to reflect on their own attentiveness while offering a lighthearted perspective on religion and society. This artwork is truly a whimsical gem that brings joy with every glance.
