EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Cartoon" by Phil May, takes us back to the whimsical world of the 1890s. With its humorous and comic elements, this print showcases May's talent for satirical drawing and caricature. The focal point of the image is a young boy, his mischievous expression capturing our attention immediately. Dressed in traditional clothing of the era, he exudes a sense of innocence and playfulness that resonates with viewers even today. May's purposeful use of satire shines through as we observe the boy interacting with his uncle. The exaggerated features and comical expressions add an entertaining touch to this satirical cartoon. It is evident that May intended to poke fun at societal norms or perhaps comment on specific individuals or situations prevalent during his time. The intricate engraving technique employed in this artwork adds depth and texture to every line, enhancing its overall charm. This portrait-like composition allows us a glimpse into the life of children from that era while simultaneously providing amusement through its cleverly crafted humor. As we delve deeper into this delightful piece, it becomes clear why Phil May remains renowned for his ability to capture both the essence of childhood and deliver scathing satire through his artistry. This print serves as a testament to May's legacy as one of history's most talented cartoonists whose work continues to entertain audiences across generations.
