Name/TitlePostcard: Studies in Expression
About this object'Pictorial Comedy' Series postcard no. 94 [?] by G.D. Gibson captioned 'STUDIES IN EXPRESSION: When Women are Jurors.' The featured image is a black and white drawing of twelve women, some in fine hats and dresses (looking around them snootily). Some women are dressed less well, such as an older woman with a shawl around her head, and one woman is shown dressed as a man. Overall, the women are portrayed in a very unflattering manner.
