Armchair Carpet Chat Chatting Chic Cigarette Curtain Feather Frenchwomen Holder Lamp Postwar Satire Satirical Standard Tobacco 1919 Fashionable
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1919 cartoon, titled "Cartoon, Victim of Food," offers a delightful glimpse into the social dynamics of postwar France during the 1910s. The scene unfolds in an elegant interior, where a young Frenchwoman sits on a red velvet armchair, her chic attire adorned with a fashionable hat adorned with a feather. She cradles a cigarette in one hand, the other hand resting on a cigarette holder, as she engages in a playful chat with a charming chatty cat. Despite her obvious attraction to a suave and wealthy baron, who stands nearby, she remains true to her mother's wishes and flirts only with the dairyman's son. The tension between her heart and her duty is humorously portrayed as she appears to be utterly captivated by the cat's charms, while her eyes dart longingly towards the baron. The room is filled with the trappings of domestic comfort, including a standard lamp and heavy curtains, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A dog lies at her feet, adding to the sense of home and hearth. This charming satirical image offers a glimpse into the complex social landscape of postwar France, where tradition and modernity collide, and the roles of women continue to evolve.
