EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Humorous Look into the Joys of Bachelor Life in the 1910s This charming and witty German postcard illustration from the 1910s, titled "Why Get Married?", offers a humorous take on the contrasting realities of bachelorhood and married life. The image showcases a bachelor, comfortably seated in an armchair, with a mug of beer in hand, and a contented expression on his face. The scene around him is a chaotic mess: piles of dirty laundry, broken furniture, and household items in disarray. On the other hand, a married man is depicted in the background, surrounded by the trappings of domestic life. He is seen bent over an ironing board, sweating profusely as he irons a shirt, while his wife stands nearby, holding a stack of collars and cuffs, waiting to be starch-pressed. The scene is filled with the traditional gender roles of the time, with the husband taking on the role of the breadwinner and the wife handling the household chores. The irony of the situation is not lost on the viewer. The bachelor's carefree and untidy lifestyle is contrasted with the married man's hardships and domestic duties. The image pokes fun at the traditional gender roles and the hardships of housework, while also highlighting the joys of bachelorhood and the freedom it offers. The illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous and insightful look into the lives of men during the 1910s. The image is a reminder of the changing social norms and the evolution of gender roles over time. The chaotic scene of the bachelor's apartment, filled with untidy piles and broken furniture, is a far cry from the tidy and organized homes of today. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of humor and the ability of art to capture the essence of a time and place.
