EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print titled "Stocks and Shares, 1936" captures the essence of a bygone era. Created by renowned artist Rene Bull, this colour lithograph is part of a series of Howler humorous cigarette cards published by Churchman's. The golden age of cigarette cards spanned from the late 19th century until the Second World War, serving as both collector items and sources of instruction, entertainment, and amusement before television and radio became widespread. This particular series draws inspiration from schoolboy howlers or mistakes. The front and verso of this card showcase a comical scene set in the bustling cityscape. It humorously depicts financiers engrossed in trading stocks while ticker tape flies around them. The irony lies in their critical speculation on investments amidst an atmosphere filled with fun and satire. Bull's illustration skillfully combines elements of advertisement, advertising, humour, publicity, finance, investment, criticism, speculation, and trading to create a captivating visual narrative. The artwork satirizes the world of business and finance while providing light-hearted entertainment for its viewers. As you gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let yourself be transported back to an era where cigarette cards were treasured collectibles that brought joy through their clever wit. Appreciate Bull's artistic talent as he masterfully blends satire with comicality to create an enduring piece that continues to captivate audiences today.
