How Can You Do It on Your Screw?
EDITORS COMMENTS
, a playful and intriguing question posed in this circa 1909 photograph, invites us to ponder the mystery of how a woman, dressed in the height of fashion, could afford such extravagant clothing, hats, and shoes. The image captures a young woman in a dressing room, surrounded by an array of new hats and clothing, her expression a mix of excitement and amusement. The screw in the title is a colloquial term for money or wealth, adding a suggestive and humorous tone to the question. The woman's attire, with its French couture influences and the latest millinery trends, speaks to her sophistication and fashion-forwardness. The room is filled with an abundance of new hats, each one more extravagant than the last, adding to the sense of luxury and indulgence. The photograph's title and the woman's provocative expression suggest a risqué or suggestive undertone, but the image itself remains demure and tasteful. The woman's dressing room serves as a backdrop to the question, inviting us to imagine the answer. Was she an heiress, a socialite, or perhaps a successful businesswoman? The photograph leaves us with more questions than answers, adding to its allure and charm. This image is a testament to the power of fashion to inspire and intrigue, and to the enduring appeal of a good mystery. With its playful title and captivating subject matter, it is a delightful glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of fashion and wealth over a century ago.
