EDITORS COMMENTS
The cartoon titled "Modesty and Duty in Comfort" by George du Maurier is a thought-provoking illustration that highlights the stark contrast between two different styles of bathers. Created in the 19th century, this piece captures the essence of leisure and fashion during that era. In this artwork, du Maurier cleverly portrays two groups of bathers on a beach. On one side, we see wealthy individuals enjoying their swim while adorned in stylish bathing suits. Their confidence and comfort are evident as they revel in their luxurious surroundings. On the other side, however, lies a striking juxtaposition - impoverished bathers who lack proper attire and must resort to swimming naked or wearing minimal clothing. This portrayal sheds light on the harsh realities faced by those less fortunate during this time period. Through his artistic skill, du Maurier prompts us to reflect upon themes of wealth disparity and social inequality. The cartoonist's commentary on modesty becomes apparent as he contrasts the natural state of poverty-stricken bathers with the ostentatious display of wealth exhibited by their counterparts. "Modesty and Duty in Comfort" serves as a poignant reminder that societal divisions persist even within seemingly mundane activities like swimming at the seaside. Du Maurier's ability to convey such complex ideas through his illustrations solidifies his status as both an accomplished author and talented artist.
