EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical postcard print from 1909, created by Xavier Sager, satirizes the fashion trends of the time. Titled "Postcard satirising the dangers of large hats and associated hat pins - the fashion of 1909" it captures a whimsical scene that highlights the potential hazards posed by oversized headwear. In this colorful lithograph, we see a bustling street filled with various modes of transportation including carriages and horses. Amidst this lively setting, a man wearing an Edwardian suit stands obliviously as his large hat becomes entangled with a passing automobile. The woman beside him appears shocked as her own extravagant hat is speared by an errant hatpin. The artist's keen sense of humor is evident in this clever composition. Through exaggerated accessories such as oversized hats and long hatpins, Sager playfully mocks the absurdity of fashionable trends during this era. This satirical portrayal serves as both entertainment and social commentary on society's obsession with appearance. With its vivid colors and humorous depiction, this postcard offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century fashion while reminding us to approach trends with caution. It showcases Sager's artistic talent in capturing everyday moments infused with wit and charm. As part of a private collection now made available through Look and Learn via Bridgeman Images, this delightful print continues to bring joy to art enthusiasts who appreciate historical satire intertwined with artistic brilliance.
