Cyril Depicting Fougasse Insist Kenneth Offering Seat Tube 1936
Oh, but I insist!
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a charming and humorous moment in history, depicted by the talented illustrator Fougasse (aka Cyril Kenneth Bird). In this delightful illustration from April 22, 1936, we see a man on a Tube train graciously offering his seat to a woman. The scene is filled with subtle wit and charm, as the man insists on giving up his seat despite the woman's protests.
Fougasse was known for his clever and satirical illustrations that often captured everyday moments with a touch of humor. This particular piece showcases his ability to bring life to simple interactions and make them memorable.
The historical significance of this print lies not only in its depiction of manners and etiquette from another era but also in its timeless message of kindness and chivalry. In today's fast-paced world, where acts of courtesy can sometimes be overlooked, "Oh; but I insist!" serves as a gentle reminder of the importance of thoughtfulness towards others.
As we admire this charming illustration by Fougasse, let us appreciate the artist's skill in capturing human nature with warmth and humor. It is truly a testament to his talent and enduring legacy in the world of art.
