Starr Woods Annual, Summer 1928: A Flapper's Charm in an Unlikely Setting The cover of the Starr Woods Annual, The Snark, from the summer of 1928, presents a delightful and unexpected scene that defies the traditional boundaries of glamour and household chores. The illustration features a flapper girl, her hair severely cropped and styled in a short bob, her eyes adorned with heavy eyeliner and long lashes, and her lips painted a bold red. She dons a short, shimmering dress that exposes her shapely legs, which are crossed seductively as she leans over an ironing board. Despite the alluring pose, the flapper is not engaged in a dance or a night out on the town. Instead, she is ironing, a seemingly mundane and domestic task. Yet, her expression is one of determination and even delight, as if she is reveling in the power and independence that comes with mastering the art of housework. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a curious cat, perched atop the ironing board, observing the flapper with a look of amusement. The cartoonish style of the illustration adds to the lighthearted and humorous tone, making it a playful and endearing representation of the flapper culture of the 1920s. This cover of The Snark captures the essence of the flapper spirit, which embraced modernity, liberation, and a sense of fun, even in the most unexpected of places. The image is a testament to the versatility and charm of the flapper archetype, who could be both alluring and capable, glamorous and domestic, all at once.
