EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Popular excesses for a short skirt" by Achille Beltrame depicts a dramatic scene that unfolded in Warsaw during the early 20th century. In front of the Church of Schelobowska, an elegant young lady finds herself under attack from numerous faithful individuals who disapprove of her choice to attend Mass in a short skirt. The image captures the struggle and chaos as the girl seeks refuge in the sacristy, protected by priests. This powerful illustration, originally published in Courier Sunday on December 16,1928, sheds light on societal norms and moral values of that time. It portrays the clash between traditional beliefs and modernity, highlighting how clothing choices could spark intense reactions within communities. The photograph showcases not only a battle between individuals but also symbolizes a larger conflict between different ideologies. The architectural backdrop adds depth to this historical moment, emphasizing both the grandeur of religious institutions and their role as sites where social tensions can erupt. Beltrame's artistic talent shines through his ability to capture such raw emotion and tension within one frame. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of how fashion choices have long been intertwined with cultural expectations and morality throughout history.
