EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous print captures a scene of men and women playfully pretending to be posh in the lively seaside town of Blackpool. The colour litho, created by an anonymous English School artist in the early 20th century, showcases the comical side of British culture. In this postcard-worthy image, holidaymakers don extravagant costumes and hats, exuding ostentatious charm as they stroll along the promenade. Their exaggerated pretence at sophistication is both amusing and entertaining, providing a light-hearted escape from everyday life. The juxtaposition between the working-class origins of Blackpool and these mockingly posh characters adds an extra layer of humor to the scene. As they engage in animated conversation, one can almost imagine them adopting exaggerated accents to complete their act. The fashion choices reflect the style of early 20th-century Britain with coats, cloaks, and jackets that hint at winter attire despite being set against a backdrop synonymous with summer holidays. This print not only offers a glimpse into British history but also highlights our innate desire for fun and laughter. It reminds us that sometimes it's enjoyable to step out of our ordinary lives and embrace a bit of playful pretence.
