Cut and he will not come again by Reginald Higgins
An illustration showing a mermaid with the shorn, shingled Eton crop hairstyle of the 1920s, looking rather forlorn as she waits for her lover to return. Unfortunately, because she has cut off all her beautiful locks in a fit of hysterical feminism, hes not interested any more! A rather chauvinistic illustration commenting on the trend for short and bobbed hair during the mid-20s

EDITORS COMMENTS
: A 1920s Mermaid's Disappointing Hairdo by Reginald Higgins In this intriguing and humorous illustration by Reginald Higgins, titled "Cut and He Will Not Come Again," we find a forlorn mermaid perched on a rocky outcropping, her Eton crop hairstyle of the 1920s a stark contrast to the flowing locks she once wore with pride. The mermaid's shorn hair, styled in a chic shingled cut, was a reflection of the trend toward short and bobbed hairstyles popular among women during the mid-1920s. However, the mermaid's radical new look has inadvertently led to a disappointing consequence: her lover, a man of traditional tastes, has lost interest in her. The mermaid's expression of sadness and disbelief is palpable as she gazes out to sea, waiting in vain for her lover's return. The illustration, with its witty commentary on the trend for short hair and the chauvinistic attitudes of the time, offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the 1920s. The historical context of this image is further emphasized by the mermaid's elegant yet simple attire, reminiscent of the fashionable clothing worn by women during this era. Reginald Higgins' illustration, "Cut and He Will Not Come Again," is a delightful and thought-provoking work of art that captures the spirit of the 1920s while also offering a humorous and insightful commentary on the role of women and their changing hairstyles during this period. The image, with its rich detail and vivid colors, is a must-have for any collection of historical illustrations or for those interested in the history of fashion and women's rights.
