1923 Vintage Humorous Print – “12 People Who Waste Our Time” – Satirical Social Commentary – Mounted Original on Black Card
Description:
This is an original 1923 vintage satirical print titled “12 People Who Waste Our Time”, humorously illustrating the daily frustrations caused by different personality types in a bygone era. Professionally mounted on black cardboard, the print measures approximately 14 x 22 cm.
Each illustrated panel depicts a different “time-waster” archetype—such as The Careless, The Inattentive, The Forgetful, The Sluggard, The Gossip, The Idler, and more—rendered in charming 1920s style. Both insightful and comical, this social commentary captures the values and frustrations of post-Edwardian society with wit and visual flair.
Perfect for collectors of vintage humor, social history prints, and early 20th-century ephemera, this piece also makes a great framed gift or conversation starter.
Publisher:
Exact publisher unknown, but believed to be featured in or distributed by popular British periodicals of the 1920s, possibly The Graphic or The Sketch.
Condition Note:
This is a genuine vintage print from 1923, mounted on black card for presentation. Due to its age, light signs of wear such as mild foxing, faint discoloration, or edge softening may be present. These natural imperfections are consistent with vintage ephemera and add to the authenticity and character of the piece.
