EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Delightful 1920s Parody of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet In this charming and witty cartoon by Mary Evan, published in the Illustrated London News on April 29, 1925, we find ourselves in a pastoral scene on Hampstead Heath, where a lovestruck couple, dressed in fashionable 1920s attire, are deeply engrossed in their shared pastime – the wireless radio. The scene is a delightful parody of Shakespeare's famous line, "Wherefor art thou, Romeo?" from Romeo and Juliet. The cartoon, titled "Wherefor Art Thou Radio?" and credited to the Estate of Mrs. J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN, captures the essence of romantic longing and the power of radio to bring people together. The man, with a hopeful expression on his face, gazes intently at his radio, while his beloved, her eyes closed in rapture, listens with her head resting on his shoulder. The caption suggests that 2LO, the British Broadcasting Company's first radio station, should devote a week to amatory music in the spring. This classic cartoon is a testament to the enduring power of love and the role of radio in bringing joy and connection to people's lives, even in the early days of wireless technology. The image is a delightful blend of history, humor, and romance, and is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who appreciates the simple pleasures of love and music. Mary Evan's beautiful illustration is a reminder that the human experience, with all its joys, sorrows, and longings, has remained a rich source of inspiration for artists and storytellers throughout the ages. Whether you're a fan of Shakespeare, radio, or simply a romantic at heart, this image is sure to touch your heart and transport you to a simpler time.
