First and Second Impressions
EDITORS COMMENTS
by H.M. Bateman is a charming and humorous cartoon depicting the contrasting personas of a Major in the military and a young woman named Maisie. The image captures a moment in which Maisie, who had been captivated by the Major's suave and polite demeanor during their courtship, is taken aback during a military parade. The Major, with his imposing presence and commanding voice, is shown bawling out orders to his soldiers, causing Maisie to realize that this was not the same man she had grown to admire off the parade ground. Bateman's use of stereotypes in this cartoon adds to the humor and amusement of the situation. The Major's voice, which had once been so charming and calming, now comes across as terrifying and loud. Bateman masterfully captures the essence of the military world and the contrasting personalities that exist within it. The cartoon is a testament to Bateman's ability to use humor to highlight the absurdities of life, while also shedding light on the complexities of human nature. The image is a timeless piece that continues to resonate with audiences today, as it explores themes of wooing, courtship, and the unexpected twists and turns that can come with getting to know someone better. Bateman's use of stereotypes adds to the humor and amusement of the situation, while also serving as a reminder of the importance of looking beyond first impressions. This cartoon, created by H.M. Bateman in 1929, is a classic example of his work and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of cartooning and British humor. The Estate of H.M.
