EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to February 1936 with this print of the cover of Britannia and Eve magazine. The illustration features a fashionable young woman, exuding elegance and sophistication as she chats on the telephone while enjoying a cigarette. In an era where smoking was not only socially acceptable but also considered glamorous, this image captures the essence of a bygone era.
The woman depicted on the cover is the epitome of chic, with her stylish attire and perfectly coiffed hair. She appears engrossed in conversation, perhaps gossiping with a friend or making plans for an evening out. The telephone cord winds around her fingers as she leans in to hear every word, showcasing both her modernity and femininity.
This image is not just a snapshot from history; it is a window into the past that allows us to glimpse into the lives and attitudes of women in 1936. Despite being nearly a century old, this illustration still resonates today, reminding us of how much has changed – and how much remains unchanged – when it comes to fashion, communication, and societal norms.
Whether you are drawn to vintage aesthetics or simply appreciate art that tells a story, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back to a time when talking on the phone was an event worth dressing up for.
