EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1930s photograph showcases a set of Strip Tease cards from an intriguing and thought-provoking game known as the "Prudie Suit - Prude" set. The game, which transports players back to the era of moral dilemmas and theatrical entertainment, features a cast of characters involved in the performance and subsequent prosecution and defense of a striptease. The complex rules of this game allow for two distinct variants, adding an extra layer of intrigue and excitement. In one version, players assume the roles of the performers, attempting to seduce their audience and shed their "coats and hats" (represented by cards) without being caught by the prudes or moralistic figures in the room. In the other variant, players take on the roles of the prudes, working to prosecute and shut down the striptease before it goes too far. The characters in this game, both performers and prudes, are depicted with a sense of charm and whimsy, reflecting the conflicting attitudes towards morality and entertainment during the 1930s. The small man and woman, dressed in their best attire, represent the husbands and wives of the era, torn between their desire for excitement and their sense of propriety. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where morality and entertainment intertwined in unexpected ways, and where the line between the acceptable and the taboo was often blurred. The Prudie Suit - Prude game stands as a testament to the complexities of human nature and the enduring appeal of a good moral dilemma.
