EDITORS COMMENTS
Three Sheets to the Wind: A Play on Words and Weather in the Early 1900s This charming postcard illustration, part of the C.W. Faulkner series produced in 1902, captures a whimsical moment in the life of a woman dressed in a vibrant red gown. The image, titled "Three Sheets in the Wind," humorously plays with the colloquial phrase "three sheets to the wind," which refers to being extremely drunk. However, in this context, the woman's struggle to hang her clothes on the line during a windy day provides a literal interpretation of the phrase. The woman's determined expression and the billowing fabric of her dress contrast with the chaotic scene around her. Her hair is disheveled, and her skirt is lifted, revealing a flash of ankle. The wind, personified by the swirling clouds and the leaves in the trees, seems to be having the last laugh as it plays with the woman's clothes and her attempts to keep them in place. The illustration offers a glimpse into the daily life of the early 1900s, a time when postcards were a popular form of communication and entertainment. The use of humor and wordplay in the title adds an element of wit and charm, making this postcard a delightful addition to any collection. The intricately detailed illustration, with its soft colors and delicate lines, showcases the artistic skill of the era. The woman's red dress, a bold and striking choice, adds a pop of color against the muted tones of the landscape. Overall, this postcard is a charming reminder of the simple pleasures and the playful spirit of the past.
