EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage French postcard from the early 20th century captures a satirical caricature of adultery in France. The colorful print depicts a scene inside an elegant interior, where a foolish husband is shocked to discover his wife's betrayal. The man, wearing evening dress and antlers on his head as a symbol of cuckoldry, stands in disbelief while his unfaithful wife and her lover exchange glances. The artist skillfully portrays the concept of betrayal through clever visual cues and exaggerated expressions. The woman's sly smile reveals her deceitful nature, while the man's dumbfounded look conveys his shock and upset at being deceived. Postcards like these were popular during this era as a form of communication between people across different locations. They often conveyed social commentary or humorous anecdotes about everyday life. This particular postcard highlights the theme of adultery, which was considered scandalous at the time. As we admire this art media print today, it serves as a reminder of how societal norms have evolved over time. It also showcases the creativity and wit that artists used to express complex ideas through simple illustrations.
