EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard from the early 1900s captures a whimsical and humorous scene, showcasing the charm of bygone eras. Titled "If You Are a Girlie and Born in May" this delightful print combines elements of astrology, fate, and lighthearted humor. The young woman depicted is adorned with an elegant rose in her hair while wearing a fashionable dress and hat that were popular during that time. With her eyes gazing upwards as if seeking guidance from the heavens, she holds onto the text-filled card that reveals playful insights into the traits associated with those born in May. This artistic creation reflects both commercial art and graphic design styles prevalent in North America at that period. The image evokes nostalgia for an era when postcards were cherished means of communication. It invites us to imagine how recipients would have delighted in receiving such charming missives through their mailboxes. Located within Lake County Museum's collection, this color print showcases not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance as part of humorous and satirical art. While pseudoscience may have influenced beliefs about astrological signs back then, today we can appreciate this artwork for its artistic merit rather than relying on it as factual information. This print serves as a window into the past—a reminder of simpler times filled with laughter, romance, and creativity—making it an ideal addition to any collection or display celebrating our rich cultural heritage.
