A witty mix of old and new, this Comic Postcard from the past pokes fun at the notion of 'smartness' with a Dirty Collar, reminiscent of the classic Donald McGill humor. Fast forward to the early 1900s, where Le Pele-Mele's illustration for "La reciproque est vraie" adds a touch of European elegance to the concept. In contrast, Major Viscount Downe's colorful lithograph showcases a dapper gentleman's take on the subject. Meanwhile, our brave Woman Police Officers, from W.Gould's depictions in SE London and K.M. Boyd's uniformed portraits, prove that being smart is not just about appearance but also about action and determination. Their WW2-era counterpart further emphasizes this, as she stands guard, ready for duty. The 1930s Charnaux advertisement for women's beachwear adds a stylish twist to the idea, while the Dalmatian by Coach Wheel and Town & Country Costumes remind us that even our pets and fashion choices can reflect our smartness. So, whether it's a clever quip or a well-tailored suit, let's embrace the many facets of being smart.
