EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1885 titled "CARTOON: PRISON BARBER SHOP. Next!" takes us back in time to a satirical depiction of a prison barber shop. The illustration, created by the talented American cartoonist Bernhard Gillam for Puck magazine, showcases his wit and artistic prowess. In this comical scene, we see J. D. Fish, dressed in traditional prison stripes, seated on a barber chair while Ferdinand Ward stands beside him wearing civilian clothing. The contrast between their appearances hints at an intriguing story behind these characters. Gillam's attention to detail is impeccable as he captures the essence of each element within the frame. From the striped attire symbolizing imprisonment to the stern guard overseeing every move, no aspect goes unnoticed. The artist masterfully uses typeface elements throughout the image to emphasize certain words like "corruption" and "swindler" shedding light on themes prevalent during that era. This lithograph serves as both entertainment and social commentary, highlighting issues such as corruption and deception that plagued society at that time. Preserved through time by Granger Art on Demand, this historic piece offers viewers a glimpse into late 19th-century America while showcasing Gillam's talent for storytelling through artistry. Whether you appreciate its historical significance or simply enjoy its whimsical nature, this print is sure to captivate all who lay eyes upon it.
