EDITORS COMMENTS
is an amusing Edwardian era postcard from 1906, showcasing a humorous cartoon image that was popular during this time. The postcard, which measures approximately 3 and ½ inches by 5 and ½ inches, is a testament to the light-hearted and often satirical nature of cartoons during the early 1900s. The cartoon illustration on the postcard depicts a man, dressed in the fashionable attire of the Edwardian era, with a look of surprise and disbelief on his face. He is holding a large, ornate mirror, which reflects an image of a woman in a revealing and provocative pose. The man's reaction contrasts sharply with the seductive image in the mirror, adding to the humor of the situation. The caption below the image reads, "Her's a Man! He's looking at HIS reflection in the looking-glass, but he doesn't know it!" This caption plays on the double meaning of the phrase "Her's a Man," which can be interpreted as both "Here is a man" and "That's a man!" The postcard's humor lies in the unexpected twist, as the man is unaware of the alluring image that is actually reflecting back at him. The intricate detail and fine lines in the illustration demonstrate the skill and artistry of the cartoonist, who expertly captures the essence of the Edwardian era and its unique sense of humor. The postcard's design and message continue to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into the past and the lighter side of history. This postcard is a valuable addition to any collection of historical ephemera or vintage cartoons, and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of humor and the human condition. The image and text on the postcard have been carefully preserved, ensuring that the humor and charm of this Edwardian era cartoon can continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.
