EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and charming print titled "Leap Year Proposal" we are transported to the early 20th century, where a comical scene unfolds before our eyes. The image captures a well-dressed black man, wearing a monocle and an amusingly large hat, as he musters up the courage to propose marriage to a woman. With his hand extended towards her in a begging gesture, it is clear that he is both nervous and hopeful for her acceptance. Adding to the lightheartedness of the moment, a mischievous cat perches atop his shoulder while an equally playful parrot watches from above. These delightful animal companions inject humor into what could otherwise be seen as a tale of woe. The postcard format adds to the overall entertainment value of this piece. It serves as evidence that even in times gone by, leap year proposals were met with amusement and fascination. This color lithograph print showcases not only artistic skill but also captures the essence of human emotions through its clever composition. The use of vibrant colors brings life to each character portrayed within this humorous narrative. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we cannot help but smile at its witty portrayal of love's pursuit amidst unexpected circumstances.
