Man-Killers - The Weapons Woman Wields
EDITORS COMMENTS
- This color illustration, dated 1911, depicts a woman in the midst of her daily routine, yet the objects surrounding her suggest an underlying allure and power. The woman, dressed in elegant Edwardian attire, gazes intently into a hand mirror while adorning herself with intricately designed red beads and earrings. A jewel box lies open before her, its contents spilling out, as if to emphasize the radiance of the gems within. The quotation inscribed below the image, "This casket India's glowing gems unlocks. And all Arabia breaches from yonder box," by Alexander Pope, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The woman's adornments, often considered symbols of femininity and allure, are portrayed as weapons in this intriguing title. The red beads and earrings, along with the open jewel box, suggest an irresistible allure that could captivate and enthrall any man. The use of the term "Man-Killers" may be a playful reference to the power women hold over men through their beauty and charm. This evocative image, a testament to the artistic style of the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and societal norms of the era. The Edwardian period, marked by its opulence and elegance, is beautifully captured in this color illustration, which continues to captivate and intrigue viewers over a century later.
