We joke about how ridiculous it was when men got all titillated at the sight of a woman's ankles. It seems that it was thought ridiculous even then, when it was about the only part of a woman's legs a man was likely to get a glimpse of in public, as shown in this slyly humorous postcard illustration. Ostensibly, the cobbler has only a professional interest in studying the lady's footwear. In case you miss the point, he is reading the �Observer� and her stockings have a striking design to emphasize the ankle. As in later pinup art, the woman's personality is besides the point; she doesn't even need to have a head. The artist may be English, given the fastidious watercolor craftsmanship, but this illustrator is unlikely to be in the famous category, since he (we assume it's a he) has not mastered the art of perspective � note the lopsided chair and impossible stovepipe.</TD><TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN=center VALIGN=middle><FONT COLOR=gray>x</TD></TR> <TR><TD COLSPAN=1 ALIGN=center VALIGN=middle><A HREF="a44_009.html"><IMG SRC="../../nav/buactpv.jpg"BORDER=0><br><FONT FACE="Copperplate,serif"SIZE=2>PREV</a></TD><TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN=center VALIGN=middle><A HREF="../a44_bidform.html"><FONT FACE="Copperplate,serif"SIZE=2>Absentee<BR>Bid Form</A></TD><TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN=center VALIGN=middle><A HREF="../auclist1a44.html"><FONT FACE="Copperplate,serif"SIZE=2>LIST<BR>of LOTS</A></TD><TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN=center VALIGN=bottom><A HREF="../../../home.html"><IMG SRC="../../nav/ihlogo1in.gif"BORDER=1></A></TD><TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN=center VALIGN=middle><A HREF="../a44_index.html"><FONT FACE="Copperplate,serif"SIZE=2>INDEX to <BR>ARTISTS</A></TD><TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN=center VALIGN=middle><A HREF="../a44_terms.html"><FONT FACE="Copperplate,serif"SIZE=2>Terms of<BR>Sale</A></TD><TD COLSPAN=1 ALIGN=center VALIGN=middle><A HREF="a44_011.html"><IMG SRC="../../nav/buactnx.jpg"BORDER=0><br><FONT FACE="Copperplate,serif"SIZE=2>NEXT</a></TD></TR> <TR><TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=CENTER><FONT COLOR=GRAY>x</TD><TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=CENTER><FONT COLOR=GRAY>x</TD><TD COLSPAN=4 ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE=Palatino,serif SIZE=2>110 West 25 Street<BR>New York, NY, 10001<BR>212 966-9444</FONT></TD><TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=CENTER><FONT COLOR=GRAY>x</TD><TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=CENTER><FONT COLOR=GRAY>x</TD></TR> </Table></BODY></HTML>
