Armistice Depicting Discarded Dressing Joins Khaki Mirror Nose Optimistic Peace Powdering Tatler 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and optimistic cover of The Tatler magazine, dated November 1st, 1919, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, marks the end of the First World War and the beginning of the Roaring Twenties. The image, titled "The Tatler Peace Number," depicts a woman named Eve, dressed in elegant attire and powdering her nose in front of a mirror. A discarded military uniform lies to the side, symbolizing the shedding of war's burdens and embracing peace. The cover's colorful design, with its intricate patterns and playful details, is a stark contrast to the somber tones of war-time publications. Eve's joyful expression and the presence of her companion, Frou-Frou, a small dog, add to the sense of celebration and renewal. The number "1" in the upper left corner of the cover emphasizes the fresh start that the world was experiencing after the signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918. The Tatler's editorial team, known for their coverage of fashion, society, and events, chose to commemorate this historical moment with a beautiful and uplifting image. The cover's historical significance is further emphasized by the khaki uniform, which represents the soldiers who had recently returned from the battlefields. The discarded uniform, along with Eve's elegant dress, symbolizes the transition from war to peace, and the return to normalcy and beauty in everyday life. This cover is a testament to the resilience and optimism of the human spirit, and serves as a reminder of the importance of celebrating peace and unity in the aftermath of conflict.
