EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Phil May, we are transported to a whimsical world where a jester rides atop a donkey, seeking respite from the scorching sun. The jester cleverly shields himself from the intense rays with an umbrella, creating a comical and endearing sight. The image is taken from The Phil May Folio of Caricature Drawings and Sketches in Line Block, Half-tone and Photogravure, published in 1904. It showcases May's exceptional talent for satirical drawing and cartooning, capturing the essence of British humor during that era. The jester's colorful costume adds to the playful nature of the scene as he navigates through what appears to be a rural landscape. The donkey dutifully carries its rider while also enduring the heat of the day. This artwork provides us with a glimpse into early twentieth-century Britain, reflecting both historical context and artistic style. May's intricate engravings bring life to his subjects while offering social commentary through satire. As we admire this enchanting print, we can't help but imagine ourselves alongside this charismatic duo - witnessing their escapades under the blazing sun. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances or sweltering weather conditions, there is always room for lightheartedness and creativity.
