EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled ""I know nothing whatever about that" (litho)" captures a humorous scene from the early twentieth century. Created by Pont (Graham Laidler) in 1940, this illustration was featured in The British Carry On, A Collection of Wartime Drawings. In the image, we see a well-dressed gentleman confidently declaring his ignorance about something while explaining his imminent trip to Baden-Baden for health reasons. Pont's wit and satirical style shine through as he pokes fun at human nature and our tendency to feign knowledge or make excuses when confronted with unfamiliar situations. The caption accompanying the artwork adds an additional layer of humor by highlighting the character's elaborate explanation: "You see, I have to go to Baden-Baden on account of my health". This piece not only showcases Pont's comedic talent but also provides insight into the social context of wartime Britain. It offers a lighthearted escape from the realities of war while reminding viewers that even during difficult times, laughter can be found. The print is part of a private collection and is now preserved by Look and Learn. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Pont's work and its historical significance.
