EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant color litho print titled "Hi! why don't you show her your staff?" captures a humorous moment in early 20th-century street life. This amusing postcard, part of a private collection, showcases the wit and double entendre prevalent during that era. In the image, we see a police officer standing on a basement terrace with his cleaning staff nearby. A mischievous smile plays on his face as he engages in playful banter with an unseen woman off-camera. The suggestive nature of their conversation is evident through the clever use of visual cues. The policeman's truncheon, traditionally associated with law enforcement, takes on an additional meaning here as it becomes the subject of innuendo. The juxtaposition between authority figures and sexual humor adds to the overall comedic effect. This whimsical artwork not only reflects the lightheartedness of its time but also highlights societal attitudes towards sexuality and gender roles. It serves as a reminder that even in more conservative periods, people found ways to express themselves through humor and satire. With its bold colors and clever composition, this print by English School from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into an era where amusement was often found in unexpected places – even within everyday encounters between policemen and citizens.
