EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and ironic cartoon by Phil May, titled "Scruffy Street Tough Advertising The Ladies Idol," depicts an unkempt, scruffy man with a rough and unattractive appearance, dressed in tattered clothes, holding a sandwich board advertising "The Ladies Idol" at The Vaudeville Theatre in London, England, in 1895. The juxtaposition of the man's hard, street-worn exterior and the refined and elegant term "Ladies Idol" creates a delightfully ironic scene. The man, with his disheveled hair, unshaven face, and worn-out clothes, seems an unlikely candidate to be promoting an event for ladies. The sandwich board, which he holds with both hands, is a common form of street advertising in the late 19th century. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the humor and irony that were often used to capture the attention of the public during the Vaudeville era. The cartoon is a reminder of the unexpected twists and turns that could be found in everyday life during this time period, and the enduring power of humor to lighten the mood and bring a smile to our faces.
