EDITORS COMMENTS
Bad Form in Dress: A Satirical Commentary on Fashion and Frugality during the First World War Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, the home front was a scene of resilience and resourcefulness. With men away at the front, women took on new roles, managing households and businesses, and even serving in the military. However, the war brought about unique challenges, including the need to conserve resources and ration supplies. This satirical cartoon by Rodo Pissarro, titled "Bad Form in Dress," published around 1915, offers a humorous commentary on the issue of extravagant clothing during wartime. The image depicts a woman, dressed in an elaborate, extravagant gown, complete with a large feather hat and an ornate pram adorned with ribbons and bows. She is surrounded by children, one of whom is holding a sign that reads, "War Savings." The woman's attention is focused on a shop window displaying the latest fashion trends, oblivious to the needs of her family and the war effort. The cartoon serves as a reminder of the stark contrast between the realities of wartime and the frivolous pursuit of fashion. Women were urged to be mindful of their spending and to prioritize practicality over extravagance. The use of pen, ink, and watercolor techniques adds to the whimsical yet poignant nature of the artwork, making it a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural climate of the time. Rodo Pissarro, a renowned cartoonist and the grandnephew of the famous Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro, was known for his insightful and often humorous commentary on contemporary issues. "Bad Form in Dress" is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of the era and to use his art as a vehicle for social commentary.
