The Life That Kills - A Comic Postcard from the Early 20th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant and humorous postcard, titled "The Life That Kills, Smoking and Drinking" captures the essence of a bygone era. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the early 20th century, this colour lithograph offers a playful commentary on food-related vices. In this delightful scene, we see a mischievous young boy indulging in two notorious habits - smoking and drinking. With a cheeky grin on his face, he holds up a cigarette to his lips while clutching a glass of what appears to be alcohol. The exaggerated size of both objects adds to the comical effect. The artist skillfully uses bold colours and intricate details to bring this scene to life. From the boy's expressive facial features to his carefully designed attire consisting of trousers or slacks typical for that time period, every element contributes to the overall charm of this artwork. Beyond its comedic value, "The Life That Kills" serves as a reminder of societal attitudes towards smoking addiction during that era. It also reflects how humour was employed as a means of addressing serious topics such as youth behavior and health risks associated with tobacco consumption. Preserved within private collections today, this postcard is not just an amusing relic but also provides us with valuable insights into our history – reminding us that even in jest lies truth about our past behaviors and cultural norms.
