EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous Mutoscope postcard, dating back to the 1940s, captures the playful moment of a pretty and attractive young woman in a spot of bothersome predicament. The image features an elegantly dressed lady, with a glamorous hat perched atop her head, who appears to be in a state of alarm as her pet dog, with a mischievous glint in its eyes, dashes off in the wrong direction, pulling her along by the leash. The lead, in turn, causes her skirt to hike up, revealing a flash of stocking-clad leg. As the lady stumbles to regain her balance, her shopping parcels, including a nice hat box, go flying in all directions. The scene is both cheeky and revealing, with a hint of eroticism and sexiness that was characteristic of the Mutoscope postcard genre during this era. The woman's alarmed expression and the disarray of her belongings add to the light-hearted and humorous tone of the image. Mutoscopes were a popular form of entertainment in the early 20th century, with these coin-operated devices allowing viewers to watch short, animated films through a peephole. Postcards featuring Mutoscope images were also produced and collected, with this particular postcard being a delightful example of the genre's ability to capture a moment of everyday life with a touch of humor and glamour.
