This illustration, created during the Jazz Age of the 1920s, showcases the Art Deco style that was popular during this era. The drawing depicts a group of elegantly dressed women and men enjoying a windy day at the beach. The title of the illustration, "The Wind in the Sails," suggests a sense of freedom and adventure, as the wind in their sails represents the excitement and energy of the 1920s. The women are shown wearing fashionable flapper dresses, with their hair styled in short bob cuts, while the men wear dapper suits and hats. They are all engaged in various activities, such as playing cards, reading, and dancing, reflecting the carefree and lively spirit of the age. The illustration also features a jazz band in the background, adding to the lively and upbeat atmosphere.
