Early 1900's illustrated Edwardian postcard of woman wearing just her lingerie / underclothes inscribed "Beauty Unadorned or the female form divine", showing an idealised vision of female beauty, circa 1910,


Illustration of a meek woman as opposed to a strident suffragette who were often depicted as ugly old hags or perhaps a reaction to the elaborate outfits worn by women at this time. The padded hairstyle used to hold the large cartwheel hats dates this card between 1908 - 1911
