EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous colour lithograph print by Phil May captures the essence of early 20th-century satire and wit. Originally part of a set of sketches issued by Fry's Chocolates around 1905, this particular piece showcases May's talent for creating comical and scathing cartoons.
In this illustration, we see a devilish figure holding a drink in hand, surrounded by swirling birds that seem to be his enemies or foes. The devil's mischievous grin hints at the mischief he may cause after indulging in some alcohol. The use of bold colours adds to the lively and playful nature of the artwork.
May's satirical drawings often touched on themes such as religion and social norms, using humour to poke fun at societal conventions. His ability to blend comedy with sharp commentary made him a popular artist during his time.
This print serves as a reminder of the power of art to provoke thought and laughter simultaneously. It is a testament to May's skill as an artist and his keen eye for capturing human folly in all its absurdity.
