1933: Misunderstanding

The would-be customer’s looks have given rise to a misunderstanding.

1933: Horse Sensibility?

The sculpture in the cartoon is clearly meant to be by Epstein. A real horse wouldn’t even notice what was intended by the sculptor. Nowadays we are used to this monumental style.

1938: No staff

The woman depicted clearly has an upper middle class background but no longer lives that life-style. Eventually she will have to buckle down and do the dishes herself but she is going to put it off for as long as possible.

1933: Rebellion in the ranks

Simpson isn’t showing much respect to her employer. Her posture bears this out too.

In this day and age we don’t like the thought of smoking while cooking but in 1938 no such reluctance was in evidence.

1933: Foot in mouth chairmanship

This is an old joke which each generation comes to enjoy.

1933: Epstein again

No doubt the cartoonist is speaking for the nation at large. Nowadays Jakob Epstein is widely regarded as a gifted sculptor – definitely mainstream.

1931: ‘Patience’ with a reward

The mistress takes a very naïve view of the dog’s ‘patience’. We are given a very obvious clue as to how the dog’s time was spent in the larder.

Re: The Pages of Punch

1925: Before the storm

Instead of buying something in your size the general idea was to get your dressmaker to produce something that will fit you – whatever the size. In the long run the first option was cheaper and therefore bound to become the general rule. The husband’s anticipated reaction is a case in point.
