EDITORS COMMENTS
Big Hat: A Martyr to Fashion - Circa 1910, this comic postcard satirically captures the trend of women's fashion during this era, specifically their penchant for large and enveloping hats. The young girl in the image, with a determined expression on her face, is shown wearing a hat so large that it completely obscures her view and even engulfs her pet dog. The hat, adorned with an extravagant arrangement of green feathers, is accompanied by a long scarf and a muff, adding to the overall exaggerated look. The satirical tone of the postcard is emphasized by the girl's swaggering posture and the caption "Big Hat: A Martyr to Fashion." The oversized hat, which seems ridiculous and even funny in its absurdity, is a reflection of the unusual and bizarre fashion trends of the time. The image is reminiscent of the 1910s, a decade known for its flamboyant and stylish fashion, and the use of humor adds an element of fun and amusement to the depiction of this trend. The cartoon-like style of the postcard, with its bold lines and simple shapes, adds to the lighthearted and playful tone of the image. The girl's pet dog, peeking out from under the hat, adds a touch of whimsy and further emphasizes the absurdity of the situation. Overall, this postcard is a delightful and humorous look at a fashion trend that may now seem oversized and even ridiculous, but was once the height of stylish and trendy fashion.
