EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage postcard from the 1910s features a baby in a comic strip, expressing confusion over what clothing to wear due to an artist's mistake. The clumsy artist had made a blot on the original drawing, leaving the viewer unsure if the baby is a girl in a petticoat or a boy in breeches. The innocent and playful expression on the baby's face adds to the delightful confusion. The use of bold lines and simple shapes in the comic strip style adds to the whimsical and lighthearted feel of the image. The 1910s was a time of significant change in fashion, with women wearing petticoats and corsets, and men donning trousers or breeches. This postcard captures the uncertainty and playfulness surrounding gender identity and clothing choices during this era. The image is a delightful reminder of the past, and the enduring appeal of comic art and the innocence of childhood.
