EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph print captures the satirical wit and artistic talent of Phil May, a renowned artist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The sketch, part of a series originally issued by Fry's Chocolates around 1905, showcases May's keen eye for humor and caricature.
In this particular piece, we see a comical scene featuring a rotund horse with exaggerated features that highlight its corpulent nature. May's playful style and clever use of color bring this whimsical image to life, inviting viewers to chuckle at the absurdity of the situation.
Through his satirical drawings and cartoons, Phil May was known for poking fun at societal norms and human behavior with sharp wit and insight. This print is no exception, as it offers a lighthearted commentary on themes such as obesity and excess.
As we admire this delightful artwork, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of humor in art and the enduring legacy of artists like Phil May who continue to entertain audiences with their unique perspective on the world. This print is not just a visual delight but also a testament to May's skillful craftsmanship and ability to capture the essence of comedy in his work.
