EDITORS COMMENTS
Addition and Subtraction" is a captivating 1920s-era photograph by British artist P.B. Hickling that beautifully encapsulates the essence of the Roaring Twenties. The image features a stylish flapper girl, her bobbed, shingled hair framing her face as she bends over a mirror, applying a bold red lipstick. Her short, sleeveless dress and yellow stockings are reminiscent of the fashionable attire of the era, while her reflective gaze in the mirror adds an air of introspection and allure. The scene is not complete without the presence of a fairly diffident cat, perched on the edge of the mirror, observing the woman's every move. The cat's curious expression and casual pose add a touch of whimsy and intrigue to the image, making it a delightful commentary on the interplay between femininity, vanity, and the natural world. Hickling's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his keen eye for detail, bring this moment in time to life. The photograph was taken in 1926, a year that marked the height of the flapper era, and it serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this iconic period in history. The image invites us to take a moment to reflect on the beauty and complexity of women in the 1920s, and the many ways in which they expressed their individuality and independence. Whether you're a fan of history, art, or simply appreciate the elegance and charm of the 1920s, "Addition and Subtraction" is a must-see photograph that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
