The Whole Family up-to-date - Swagger Style
EDITORS COMMENTS
(1912) is a delightful and humorous comic postcard capturing the fashion trends of the early 1910s with a satirical twist. The image showcases an entire family, including a mother, father, son, pet dog, and even a boy scout, all dressed in the latest and most extravagant fashion. The mother and daughter are adorned with oversized hats, their outfits completed with bows and shoes that match the color of their hats. The father, with a smirk on his face, wears a top hat that appears to be larger than his head, while the boy scout dons a hat that looks more like a tent than a headgear. The pet dog, not to be left behind, is seen wearing a hat as well, adding to the overall fun and whimsical atmosphere of the photo. The family's stylish and trendy attire, with their swaggering poses, exudes confidence and a sense of being "up-to-date" with the latest fashion trends. However, the oversized hats, while fashionable at the time, are now seen as a bizarre and amusing trend. This comic postcard is a testament to the unusual and often ridiculous fashion choices of the past, making it a fascinating glimpse into history and a source of humor and amusement for modern audiences. The use of the word "Swagger Style" in the title adds to the playful and confident tone of the image, highlighting the family's sense of pride in their fashionable appearance. Overall, "The Whole Family up-to-date - Swagger Style" is a charming and humorous representation of fashion trends in the early 1910s, and a reminder that even the most fashionable trends can seem ridiculous with the passage of time.
