EDITORS COMMENTS
Lunch at the Races" is a delightful and whimsical postcard by the renowned English artist Louis Wain, dating back to 1911. This charming scene depicts an animated moment during a picnic at the races, where a mischievous dog raids the cat's hamper and makes off with the lunchtime duck. The playful canine's actions are in stark contrast to the elegant setting, with a carriage and coach in the background, and the uncorking of a bottle of bubbly, suggesting a festive atmosphere. The cats, seemingly unfazed by the theft, continue to attend to their own needs, with one casually setting out plates on the grass. The intricate details in Wain's illustration capture the essence of the British racing scene, with the horses and jockeys in the distance, adding to the lively and bustling atmosphere. Louis Wain's unique artistic style, characterized by his anthropomorphic animals, brought joy and amusement to people during the early 20th century. This postcard is a testament to his ability to capture the human condition through the antics of his animal characters. The use of vibrant colors and intricate detailing adds to the overall charm and appeal of this timeless piece. The postcard serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures of a day at the races, where the excitement of the event is matched only by the camaraderie and mischief among the attendees. This "Lunch at the Races" postcard by Louis Wain remains a cherished piece of art and a delightful glimpse into the past.
