EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolitho print titled "Deceit: man lying about his romantic success" we are transported to the early 20th century, where social class and postcards were all the rage. The image portrays a scene of upper-class humor and comical deception. A dashing gentleman, dressed in an impeccable white tie ensemble complete with a monocle, regales his audience by the fireside. With exaggerated gestures and an air of self-importance, he spins tales of his romantic conquests that seem too good to be true. As we observe this amusing spectacle, it becomes clear that this man is no stranger to fibbing. His love for exaggeration knows no bounds as he stretches the truth about his amorous adventures. Perhaps fueled by societal pressures or simply seeking attention, he resorts to deceitful tactics to elevate himself within the rigid class system. The room's decor exudes opulence and refinement - a lavish fireplace crackles warmly in the background while attentive listeners hang on every word spoken by our deceptive protagonist. Yet amidst all the grandeur lies a subtle reminder of human folly; for even those who seemingly have it all can succumb to boasting and bragging. This delightful print serves as both entertainment and commentary on society's fascination with appearances and status. It reminds us that beneath polished exteriors lie complex individuals capable of weaving intricate webs of deception in their pursuit of love or acceptance within their chosen social circles.
