Hop Scotch Maggie - Frae Bonnie Scotland
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and humorous comic postcard from circa 1910, showcasing a lively and exaggerated portrayal of Scottish culture and fashion. The image features a woman, dressed in full Scottish regalia, performing a traditional hopscotch game with an oversized and enveloping hat adorned with tartan ribbons and a feather. The satirical illustration pokes fun at the fashion trend of large hats during this period, taking it to an absurd level. The woman's hat is so large that it almost covers her entire body, leaving only her feet visible as she hops through the hopscotch squares. The hat's size and exaggerated shape add to the overall fun and whimsical nature of the image. Moreover, every possible Scottish stereotype has been shoehorned into this illustration. The woman wears a plaid skirt, a woolen sweater, and a pair of knee-high socks, completing the traditional Scottish outfit. She carries a thistle in one hand and a bagpipe in the other, further emphasizing the Scottish theme. The background of the postcard features a quaint Scottish village scene, complete with bagpipers, highland dancers, and a castle in the distance. The illustration's style is playful and light-hearted, with bold lines and vibrant colors that add to the overall fun and amusement of the image. Despite its satirical nature, "Hop Scotch Maggie - Frae Bonnie Scotland" remains a delightful and entertaining representation of Scottish culture and fashion during the 1910s. The image's unusual and bizarre elements make it a unique and intriguing addition to any collection of historical postcards or vintage illustrations.
