DESCRIPTION:
Step back into a world where wit and romance danced in whispers, and acronyms carried cheeky double meanings. Bawdy Acronyms before WWII is a playful, nostalgic art series that revives 11 saucy and humorous phrases from a bygone era—each represented through evocative imagery and stylised storytelling. These beautifully illustrated watercolour paintings by Paul captures the spirit of wartime goodbyes, hopeful reunions, and the coded language of lovers and soldiers alike.
Illustrated With Soul:
Each print shining a light on a different cheeky and charming, saucy and humorous phrase from a bygone era. Each acronym balances humour with heart, bringing to life the spirit of mischief and romance. Paul's signature artistic style-rich in storytelling, emotional depth, and timeless warmth-elevates each piece beyond nostalgia into poignant art.
WHY IT’S SPECIAL:
Historically Inspired: Rooted in the lesser-known slang and acronym culture that emerged among soldiers and civilians before and during WWII. Ideal for collectors, history enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates layered meaning and vintage allure.
• Paper Type: High-quality matte art paper for vivid colour and crisp detail
• Finish: High-quality archival giclée Hahnemühle Bamboo print on museum-grade fine art paper
• Watermark: Not present on final product
• Signature: Includes discreet artist signature
