EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant postcard from 1908, titled "How to catch them, in a leap year" is a delightful snapshot of the humorous side of love and courtship during that era. The color lithograph depicts a playful scene filled with allegorical elements and satirical undertones. In this whimsical image, we see a cunning woman disguised as an alluring temptress, holding out a net labeled "marriage" while enticingly jingling coins. Her target? A hapless man who seems both intrigued and apprehensive about her advances. This clever portrayal captures the dynamics of seduction and manipulation within society at the time. The postcard serves as a witty commentary on the power dynamics between men and women during this period. It humorously suggests that in a leap year when tradition dictates women can propose to men, they may resort to using money or other tactics to entrap their desired partners. With its bold colors and intricate details, this American School artwork showcases not only the artist's skill but also their keen understanding of social satire. It offers us an amusing glimpse into early 20th-century America's attitudes towards love, marriage, and gender roles. As we admire this charming print today, it reminds us how humor has always been an essential tool for reflecting upon societal norms while providing entertainment through art.
