Absurd, airplane-themed hats

Antoinette Latham, early 20th century

This is part of a series of postcards featuring women in absurd, airplane-themed hats that I absolutely love. The artist, who signs their name as Plum, is not the only artist in the collection to depict women in cartoonishly ridiculous hats, but I love this series in particular because the visual gag goes beyond just “oh, funny hat.” These women are chic, not only because they dress in fashionable silhouettes and fabrics, but because their fashion ties in the hottest news of the day: humans figuring out how to fly. Sure, their hats are absurd, but they're definitely topical! -- Caroline Carter, Grant Writer

To celebrate the launch of our latest digital collection, we'll be featuring mini-posts of staff faves.
