EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in the vibrant and fashionable 1920s, a young woman named Ethel took a moment to herself amidst the bustling crowds and bright lights of the city. Dressed in the latest flapper style, with a cloche hat perched atop her bobbed hair, she stood outside a quaint shop window, lost in thought. Unbeknownst to her, the reflection of a sign in the window read "Boy Wanted," casting an unintended and rather humorous spin on her solitary moment. As Ethel pondered her next move, the world around her continued to spin. The 1920s were a time of great change and excitement, with women embracing newfound freedoms and expressing themselves through fashion and personal style. Ethel was no exception, and her bold choice to wear the latest flapper fashion, complete with a short bob and a daringly low-cut dress, spoke volumes about her modern, independent spirit. But as she stood there, lost in her own thoughts, it seemed the world around her was conspiring to throw her a curveball. The sign in the window, meant for a different audience entirely, added an unexpected element to the scene. Ethel couldn't help but laugh at the irony of the situation, and with a shake of her head and a playful smile, she continued on her way, ready to face whatever the 1920s had in store for her. This delightful moment in time was captured by the talented Harold Earnshaw in his photograph "A Good Position," a charming snapshot of life in the 1920s that continues to captivate and amuse us today.
