EDITORS COMMENTS
Exudes a charmingly plump and curvaceous woman of the 1920s, her eyes wide with delight as she contemplates the slim and sinuous fashions gracing the pages of a fashion magazine. The year is 1929, and the Roaring Twenties are in full swing. The lady's voluminous figure, clad in an outsize dress and a cropped jacket, stands in stark contrast to the flat, flapper-like silhouettes that dominate the magazine's spread. The scene, rendered in the inimitable style of British cartoonist H.M. Bateman, is a delightful commentary on the era's fashion trends and body ideals. Bateman's signature wit and amusing touch are on full display as the woman reaches for a cigarette, her expression one of determination as she decides to embrace the latest fashionable trends, despite her size. The cartoon, titled "Eton Crop," is a testament to Bateman's ability to find humor in the everyday and to challenge societal norms through his art. The lady's unapologetic embrace of her body and her refusal to be swayed by the narrow fashion standards of the time make this a truly inspiring image. The cartoon, dated 1929, is a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, showcasing the contrast between the old and the new, the traditional and the modern, and the acceptance and defiance of societal expectations. It is a reminder that fashion, like beauty, is subjective and that confidence and self-acceptance are timeless qualities that transcend the passing trends. This image, with its rich historical context and timeless message, is a must-have for any collection of vintage fashion, cartoon, or social history. It is a fun and amusing addition to any home or office space, and a conversation starter that is sure to inspire a smile and a thought or two.
