EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of early 20th century beauty rituals with this charming comic postcard titled 'Improvements on Nature - Hair and Make-up.' Dated 1910, this postcard showcases an array of essential items needed to transform one's appearance, as depicted in the illustration. The scene takes place in a cozy boudoir, with a hopeful woman gazing at her reflection in a mirror, surrounded by various cosmetic items and accessories. A table laden with brushes, pots, and jars holds an assortment of beauty essentials. A corset and a wig sit at the ready, while a pin keeps a neatly folded auburn wig in place. The woman's vanity table is adorned with an array of cosmetics, including rouge, enamel, and violet powder. These items were popular during the 1910s for enhancing the complexion, adding color to the cheeks, and creating a desirable, fashionable look. The illustration captures the essence of the era's beauty standards, as women sought to improve their appearance through meticulous grooming and the application of cosmetics. The comic touch adds a lighthearted and playful element to the scene, making it a delightful glimpse into the past. This postcard is a fascinating reminder of the lengths women went to in order to conform to societal beauty norms and the role that cosmetics and hairstyling played in shaping perceptions of femininity during the early 1900s.
