EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and satirical lithograph captures the essence of a comical scenario in early aviation. Created by Joaquin Xaudaru y Echau, this artwork titled "And passengers will pay according to their weights; thus this fat gentleman will pay as much as a whole family" showcases the artist's wit and talent for caricature. In this scene, we see a rather rotund gentleman standing on a set of scales at an airport. The caption humorously suggests that passengers should be charged based on their weight, resulting in the hefty man paying as much as an entire family combined. This clever commentary on society's obsession with appearance and its potential impact on finances is both amusing and thought-provoking. The vivid colors used in this lithograph add depth to the illustration, while also emphasizing the exaggerated features of each character. From the ticket puncher diligently working behind his counter to the stoutness of our main subject, every detail contributes to the overall comedic effect. Xaudaru's work not only entertains but also highlights societal issues through satire. By incorporating elements of technology and transportation into his art, he reminds us that even in early 20th-century public transport systems, there were debates surrounding fare structures. This print from Bridgeman Images serves as a reminder that art can provoke laughter while offering insightful social commentary.
