EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and amusing print titled "Fine Display of Ladies Bags" captures a playful scene from the early 20th century. The colour litho showcases an array of stylish ladies' handbags arranged in a shop window, drawing attention with their elegance and charm. The postcard-like composition adds to the nostalgic feel, hinting at a time when sending humorous cards was popular. The image cleverly incorporates wordplay and innuendo, making it both entertaining and comical. It playfully suggests that these fashionable bags might have more than one meaning, eliciting smiles from those who appreciate witty humor. While some may find elements of this artwork sexist or offensive due to its cheeky portrayal of women's bottoms, it is important to consider the historical context in which it was created. This piece offers insight into the attitudes towards gender roles during that era. Overall, this print not only showcases a fine selection of ladies' bags but also provides a glimpse into the past through its light-hearted approach to retail advertising. Its combination of history, fashion, and humor makes it an intriguing addition to any art collection or display.
