Where am I supposed to pin it?
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful and humorous colour litho print that captures the essence of a bygone era. The image, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, depicts a scene from a bathing beauty contest. In this comical postcard, we see a narrow-waisted beauty with her hands on her hips, wearing an old-fashioned swim suit. She stands before the mayor and other officials who are responsible for judging the competition. With an excellent moustache adorning his face, the mayor seems perplexed as he holds out a medal for the winner. The confusion arises when our protagonist realizes that there is no suitable place to pin her victory medal. Her ample breasts and semi-naked state make it impossible to find an appropriate spot on her swimwear or waistline. This light-hearted depiction of postcard humor perfectly captures both the innocence and cheekiness of early 20th-century entertainment. It also offers us insight into societal norms and expectations surrounding beauty competitions during that time period. With its vibrant colours and charming details, "Where am I supposed to pin it?" invites viewers to laugh along with its playful narrative. This print serves as not only a visual delight but also as a reminder of how art can capture moments of confusion, joy, and triumph in unexpected ways.
