EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "A man of cheques" showcases a wealthy and rotund gentleman donning a striking checked suit. The image, dating back to the early 20th century, exudes both historical charm and British humor. With a cigar in hand and cards spread out before him, this man epitomizes wealth and leisure. The comical nature of the scene is further accentuated by the clever wordplay on "cheques" referring not only to his financial status but also to the pattern of his suit. The artist Dudley Hardy skillfully captures the essence of Edwardian fashion with this amusing portrayal. In addition to its humorous undertones, this postcard offers a glimpse into an era when smoking was prevalent among gentlemen. The tobacco packet and box placed prominently on the table serve as reminders of society's different attitudes towards smoking addiction at that time. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this print transports viewers back in time, evoking nostalgia for an age characterized by elegance and wit. Whether displayed as part of a collection or used as decor in one's home or office space, "A man of cheques" is sure to spark conversation and bring joy through its entertaining depiction of wealth, fashion, and British culture.
