EDITORS COMMENTS
The Diversions of High Society, 1905 April 26 This illustration, published in Puck magazine on April 26, 1905, offers a glimpse into the world of high society and its amusements. The scene unfolds at Mrs. Van Varick-Shadd's, where an intermission or post-performance gathering is in full swing. The elegantly dressed crowd, adorned in formal evening attire, mingles and socializes, their eyes drawn to the captivating trio of women in short, striking red dresses. The young women, with their alluring presence, have managed to secure the attention of several young men, leaving others in a state of chagrin. The playful atmosphere is further accentuated by the painted scene in the background, which depicts nude women cavorting at the seaside. The juxtaposition of the formal, high society gathering and the sensual, carefree scene in the background speaks to the complexities and contradictions of the time. Puck magazine, known for its satirical and humorous take on current events, masterfully captures the essence of high society's diversions and the intrigues that come with them. This illustration serves as a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of the wealthy and well-connected, and the allure of the forbidden.
