EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful cartoon print by H.M. Tolintyre, titled "That Saving Grace," captures the extravagant world of the 1920s and the notion of unlimited saving of time and trouble in the realm of beauty and personal grooming. The image showcases a young woman seated at her dressing table, surrounded by no less than three attentive maids. One maid holds a mirror, another brushes her bobbed hair with a large, ornate brush, while the third applies makeup or adjusts her accessories. The cartoon's punchline reads, "Apart from the hygienic value of bobbed hair, there is an advantage of unlimited saving of time and trouble in the toilet." The scene is a testament to the opulence and luxury of the era, where wealth and status were often reflected in the number of servants one could employ. The woman's dressing table is adorned with an array of cosmetics, brushes, and accessories, highlighting the importance of beauty and personal appearance in the 1920s. The maids' uniforms and the elegant decor of the room further emphasize the historical context of the image. The cartoon's humor lies in the exaggerated portrayal of the number of maids assisting the woman, poking fun at the notion of excessive wealth and the lengths some people would go to save time and trouble in their daily routines. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous and insightful look into the lives of the wealthy during the 1920s.
