A Humorous Encounter: Three Dapper Gentlemen and a Stylish Beauty (circa 1910s) In this charming, comic postcard image, three eager young men, full of optimism and possibly a touch of naivety, greet a stunningly beautiful woman as she passes them on the street. The men, dressed in their Sunday best, doff their hats in a jolly and respectful manner, while their excited expressions reveal their hopes of winning her heart. The woman, an epitome of elegance and style, captivates the men with her remarkable attire. She dons a dyed ostrich feather hat, a tight-fitting hobble skirt that accentuates her figure, and a diamond and gold ankle band that adds a touch of glamour to her outfit. Her confident and poised demeanor leaves the men in awe, and they eagerly apply to "doem" her, or ask for her attention. Despite their best efforts, the outcome of this encounter remains uncertain. The men's hopeful expressions and the woman's stylish appearance create a humorous and lighthearted scene, capturing the essence of romantic attraction in the early 1900s. This vacant lot for sale may have been the last thing on their minds, but the memory of this chance encounter is sure to stay with them forever.
