EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and whimsical colour lithograph captures a scene of pure jest and mockery from the early 20th century. Entitled "Posh boy refusing to carry a yacht," the image depicts a young wealthy boy in opulent clothing, surrounded by his servants and plush toys.
The boy's expression is one of defiance as he adamantly refuses to carry a toy yacht, much to the amusement of his attendants. The contrast between his privileged upbringing and refusal to perform even the simplest task adds an element of humor to the scene.
The postcard format suggests that this image was meant for entertainment purposes, perhaps as a playful jab at the upper class or simply as light-hearted fun. The vibrant colours used in the lithograph bring out the richness of detail in both the setting and characters, adding to its overall charm.
Overall, this print serves as a reminder not to take oneself too seriously and to find joy in life's little absurdities. It captures a moment of levity and laughter that transcends time, making it a delightful addition to any collection of art or memorabilia from days gone by.
