EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Humorous Comic Postcard from the Early 1900s Poking Fun at the Oversized Hat Trend This charming comic postcard, titled "Goodbye Sweetheart, Goodbye," is a delightful example of satire from the early 1900s. The image pokes fun at the popular trend of women wearing large and enveloping hats during this period. The comic postcard, with the date circa 1900, features a woman in a grandiose hat, bidding farewell to her lover. The woman, with a wistful expression, is seen standing behind a large, oversize hat, which seems to have a mind of its own. The hat covers her entire body, leaving only her hands and feet visible. The design of the hat is massive and enormous, with a wide brim that hides her face and a towering crown that reaches the sky. The hat's enveloping nature is further emphasized by the way it covers the woman from head to toe, leaving her almost completely hidden. The comic postcard's humorous tone is evident in the exaggerated size of the hat and the woman's submissive pose as she bids her lover goodbye. The oversized hat has become a symbol of the absurdity and extravagance of the fashion trend during this period. The comic postcard's hidden message is a fun and lighthearted commentary on the importance women placed on their hats during this era. The comic postcard's style and design are typical of the period, with its muted colors and intricate details. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous and insightful look into the fashion trends and cultural norms of the early 1900s. This piece is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of fashion, comedy, or the social commentary of the time.
