EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tendency to be embarrassed by foreign currencies" takes us back to the 1930s, a time when travel was still an adventure. The illustration, created by Pont (Graham Laidler), showcases his exceptional talent as a Punch artist. In this satirical depiction, we find ourselves in a train compartment filled with old ladies and disgruntled passengers. A female traveler sits crossly clutching her handbag tightly while exchanging angry glances with the conductor. The scene captures the essence of the British character through its clever caricatures and witty satire. The focus of this artwork lies on embarrassment caused by unfamiliar currencies during travels abroad. It humorously highlights one of our common human tendencies - feeling flustered when faced with something unfamiliar or outside our comfort zone. Pont's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his litho technique, bringing life to each character within the composition. This particular piece from Pont's collection is part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. As we gaze upon this vintage gem, we are transported into an era where handbags were essential accessories for women traveling by carriage or train. Through this timeless image, Pont reminds us that even in moments of frustration and embarrassment, there is always room for laughter and appreciation for the quirks that make us human.
