EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour litho print by Phil May captures a moment of exasperation and boredom as a man sings on stage to an audience who just can't seem to take any more. The title "I wish I could have persuaded you to stop" perfectly encapsulates the feeling of frustration and impatience in the scene.
The postcard, dating back to the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into a time when entertainment was simpler yet still managed to evoke strong emotions. The satirical drawing humorously portrays the man's relentless singing and the audience's visible boredom.
The detailed illustration includes various elements such as a piano in the background, adding depth to the composition. The facial expressions of both the singer and his listeners convey a range of emotions from annoyance to amusement.
As we look at this vintage artwork, we can almost hear the off-key notes and feel the awkward tension in the room. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it's better to know when to stop rather than push on despite clear signs of disinterest.
May's skillful depiction of this humorous yet relatable scenario makes this print not only visually appealing but also thought-provoking. It invites us to reflect on moments when persistence may not always be appreciated or welcomed by those around us.
