EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Love is blind" showcases an intriguing scene from the early 20th century. The image, part of a private collection, features an odd couple taking a leisurely stroll together. A man and woman, representing contrasting body types - one thin and the other obese - are depicted hand in hand, symbolizing love's ability to transcend physical appearances. The humorous undertone of this postcard adds to its charm. With cupid as their guide, the blindfolded duo walks side by side along walls adorned with comic illustrations. This comical representation challenges societal norms and reminds us that love knows no boundaries or limitations. The theme of disability is subtly incorporated into the artwork through sightless eyes and references to blindness. By including these elements, the artist highlights how love can overcome any obstacle or difference in abilities. This historic piece not only entertains but also provides insight into society's perception of relationships during that era. It serves as a reminder that true connections are formed beyond superficial judgments and physical attributes. Bridgeman Images has preserved this delightful snapshot of history for all to appreciate – reminding us that even in times gone by, humor played an essential role in celebrating human connection regardless of appearance or ability.
