WW1 - Patriotic Fancy Dress
WW1 era - British Home front - A remarkable set of 3 postcards featuring three women, two of whom are dressed in patriotic fancy dress. In this card the lady on the left is sporting a painted-on beard (?), Union flag (tall) hat, rosette, floral fabric adornments and (very weirdly) a shoe insole hanging around her neck, Sadly the exact symbolism of this gesture is lost to time. The lady on the right is without any sort of bizarre garb, but is wearing a smart fascinator in her hair
