Lady Godiva and her Eton Crop
Humorous illustration, the first in a series called Hushed Up History showing Lady Godiva, who famously rode naked through the city of Coventry with only her long hair to cover her modesty, transported to the modern day (or at least 1927) and discovering that doing the same thing with a fashionable Eton Crop hair style would be terribly embarrassing. Date: 1927

EDITORS COMMENTS
Hushed Up History: Lady Godiva's Eton Crop Misadventure, 1927 Once upon a time in the medieval city of Coventry, Lady Godiva, known for her legendary act of defiance, rode through the streets on her horse, famously baring all, with only her long locks shielding her modesty. Fast forward to the roaring twenties, 1927 to be exact, and our daring Lady Godiva finds herself in an unexpected predicament. In this humorous illustration, Lady Godiva, dressed in fashionable 1920s attire, decides to recreate her iconic ride through the city, but with a modern twist - an Eton Crop haircut. Little did she know, this trendy new hairstyle would leave her feeling anything but liberated. As she confidently mounts her horse, her friends and townspeople cheer and wave, unaware of the impending embarrassment. But as she rides through the bustling streets, she realizes her mistake, her short hair failing to provide the same level of coverage as her once long locks. The once proud Lady Godiva is now red-faced and ashamed, trying to hide her mortification behind her hands. The crowd's cheers turn to laughter as she makes a hasty retreat, leaving her Eton Crop misadventure as a comical footnote in Hushed Up History. This amusing illustration serves as a reminder that while fashion and traditions may change, some things, like Lady Godiva's legendary tale, are best left in the past.
