A Peek into the Private World of 'Dip in the Morning' and 'Dip at Night': A Tale of Contrasting Pleasures and Expectations (1909) This charming pair of postcard images, titled 'Dip in the Morning' and 'Dip at Night,' offers a humorous glimpse into the daily routine and personal experiences of a turn-of-the-century couple. In the morning scene, a cheerful housewife, clad in a fluffy white nightgown, immerses herself in a steaming bathtub, her eyes closed in contentment, a smile playing on her lips. The tiled floor, brass bedstead, and elegant bedspread in the background suggest a well-appointed home, while the sun streaming in through the window casts a warm, inviting glow over the scene. In stark contrast, the evening scene reveals a disgruntled husband, who seems to be having a less than satisfactory soak in the same bathtub. His nightgown is rumpled, and his expression is one of disappointment and exhaustion. The dimly lit room, with its worn-out tiles and peeling wallpaper, speaks of a lack of passion and drama in his domestic life. The humor and saucy undertones of these images, which are part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offer a playful commentary on the contrasting experiences of the couple's daily dips. While the morning soak brings the housewife a sense of personal pleasure and bliss, the evening soak fails to live up to her husband's expectations, leaving him feeling ineffective and tired. These images, which capture the essence of the early 1900s, offer a lighthearted and humorous look into the private world of a couple's daily routine and the varying degrees of passion and performance that come with it.
