EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant and whimsical print titled "Marie! Get up, you're lazy" captures a delightful scene from the early 20th century. Created by Francisco Sancha y Lengo, this colour lithograph showcases his talent for bringing humor to life through art. The image depicts a soldier playfully waking up Marie, who seems to be quite reluctant to leave her slumber. With its charming Belle Époque setting, the cartoon exudes an air of amusement and lightheartedness. A nursemaid can be seen in the background tending to a baby on a bench while observing the playful interaction between Marie and the soldier. This comical portrayal of courtship is sure to bring smiles to anyone's face. Although it remains unclear what specific event or reference inspired this artwork, it is evident that Sancha y Lengo intended it purely for entertainment purposes rather than political commentary. The inclusion of Jehan Rictus' poem adds another layer of wit and clever wordplay. Displayed at Musee de La Presse in Paris, France, this print transports viewers back in time to experience the charm and humor of early 20th-century cartoons. Its timeless appeal makes it a perfect addition to any collection or as decor that brings joy into any space.
