EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical lithograph captures a whimsical moment in history as Oliver Cromwell, the renowned Lord Protector of England during the 17th century, indulges in an unexpected activity - getting a haircut. Created by Rene Bull in 1936 as part of a series of humorous cigarette cards called Howlers, this print offers a lighthearted take on Cromwell's iconic image. In this scene, we see Cromwell seated comfortably in front of a mirror while his red-nosed barber skillfully trims his distinctive puritan hairstyle. The caricature-like portrayal adds to the overall humor of the piece, with exaggerated features such as Cromwell's prominent nose and expressive eyes. The artist cleverly incorporates elements from Cromwell's era into the composition. A suit of armor stands nearby, symbolizing his leadership during turbulent times. A shaving brush and scissors lay on the table beside him, emphasizing that even powerful statesmen need grooming. Bull's use of vivid colors brings life to this historical satire. The bold red tones highlight both Cromwell's nose and the barber's comical appearance. This playful approach makes for an engaging visual experience that is sure to bring smiles to viewers' faces. With its blend of history and humor, this lithograph serves not only as an amusing advertisement but also as a testament to how art can playfully reinterpret well-known figures from our past.
