EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Victorian vanity with this charming comic greetings card from the 1870s. The image features a fashionable woman, dressed in the extreme trends of the era, adorned in a frilly pink dress with a narrow waist, accessorized by an oversized hat bedecked with roses, ivy, and leaves. Her expression, a blend of pride and amusement, speaks volumes of the era's obsession with fashion and the lengths women went to appear trendy and vain. The verse on the card reads, "A hat so large, it needs a carriage, A dress so frilly, it needs a carriage too, A waist so narrow, it needs a corset, And a face so fair, it needs no other adornment, But oh, how we laugh at our foremothers' follies, Their hats and their frills, their extreme vanities!" This delightful card serves as a reminder of the quirks and quirks of the Victorian era, a time when fashion was a statement, and a good dose of humor was always in order. The oversized hat, with its exaggerated proportions, adds to the comedic effect, making this card a must-have for any collection of historical greetings cards or vintage ephemera.
