WW1 - Sarcastic take on the 'Rigours' of war on Home Front by Phyllis Spence. (from left) 'Standard Dress' the 'Lady' of the house horrified by the standardised form of ladies dress encouraged during WW1, removing frills and fancies for plain styling. 'The Pig replaces the Pug' - dog owners (particularly women) were criticised for wasting resources by keeping pet dogs, particularly toy dogs.
