Beautifying Boudoir Candles Dressing Mirror Post Card Ranstead Ww 1
EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, created in 1918 by amateur soldier artist George Ranstead, transports us back to an elegant 18th century boudoir. The decorative image features two ladies in richly colored gowns, engrossed in their daily beauty rituals. One woman sits at a dressing table, her reflection gazing back at her in the mirror. She applies makeup and adjusts her hair, surrounded by an array of cosmetics and perfume bottles. The other woman, clad in a robe, leans over to help her friend, holding a lit candle to provide better light. The scene is filled with an air of tranquility and sisterhood, a moment of respite amidst the chaos of the First World War. The postcard's intricate details, from the intricately patterned wallpaper to the delicate folds of the women's gowns, add to its charm and allure. Ranstead's artistic talent shines through in this charming depiction of beauty and femininity during a time of war.
