Alarmed Appears Bert Compact Doggy Flapper Nose Powdering Shape Wilson 1927
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical illustration, titled 'The Doggy Bag,' is a colourful depiction of a 1920s flapper girl by the talented hand of Bert Wilson. The image, published in November 1927, captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties with its fashionable yet playful theme. The flapper girl, with her bobbed hair and stylish clothes, is seen powdering her nose in a mirror, her expression one of surprise and amusement. Her compact, a small yet intricately designed accessory, is shaped like her pet dog. The compact's unexpected appearance has alarmed her cat, who sits nearby, its ears flattened against its head and its eyes wide with fear. The illustration's historical significance lies in its portrayal of the flapper culture of the 1920s, a time of social and cultural transformation. The flapper's independence and defiance of traditional gender roles are reflected in her casual attitude towards her pet and her makeup. The inclusion of her pet dog in her compact adds a touch of novelty and humor to the scene. Bert Wilson's use of colour and detail in this illustration is truly remarkable. The rich hues of the flapper's outfit, the intricate patterns on the compact, and the textures of the cat's fur all come alive on the page. The small size of the doggy compact, in contrast to the larger-than-life personality of the flapper and her cat, adds to the overall charm of the illustration. In summary, 'The Doggy Bag' is a delightful and historically significant illustration that captures the spirit of the 1920s and the playful, whimsical nature of Bert Wilson's art. The image of a flapper girl powdering her nose with a compact shaped like her dog, and the alarmed reaction of her cat, is a scene that continues to captivate and entertain audiences even today.
