Scandal (under difficulties) - A Comic Take on the Extravagant Hat Fashion of the Early 1900s
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous comic postcard, dated circa 1900, offers a satirical commentary on the popular hat trend of the time. The image, titled "Scandal (under difficulties)", features two women engaged in a lively conversation, their oversized hats forming a significant part of the scene. The first woman, with a massive hat adorned with flowers and feathers, leans in close to her companion, who wears an equally large hat with a striking bow. Their animated expressions suggest they are discussing a juicy piece of gossip. The exaggerated size of their hats, a common fashion statement during the 1910s, adds a touch of amusement to the scene. The comic postcard's design is reminiscent of the early 20th century, with its simple yet expressive illustrations and playful use of humor. The large, enveloping hats, which were a staple of women's fashion during this period, are depicted in a way that highlights their absurdity, making for a fun and lighthearted take on the trend. This comic postcard is a delightful example of the humorous and satirical art that emerged during the early 1900s. It offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the past, while also poking fun at the extravagance and excess that characterized the era. Whether you're a fan of history, fashion, or simply enjoy a good laugh, this comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face.
