EDITORS COMMENTS
This American Art Deco playing card back, dated circa late 1920s, showcases a high-styled female bather in a seductive pose against a black background. The bather, dressed in a purple bathing suit with a white cap, playfully takes off (or puts on) the strap of her top, revealing a hint of her midriff. The design is reminiscent of the Art Deco era, characterized by its bold geometric shapes, rich colors, and glamorous aesthetic. Surrounding the bather are intricate patterns of searchlights and waves, adding to the allure and mystery of the image. The overall effect is both saucy and stylish, embodying the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and the liberated, modern woman. The black background provides a dramatic contrast, allowing the bather and her details to stand out. The Art Deco style, with its emphasis on clean lines and symmetry, was popular during this time and could be found in various forms of art, architecture, and design. This playing card back is a prime example of the influence of this aesthetic on everyday objects and the enduring appeal of the Art Deco period.
