An 1890’s cigar box lid. Original scan by C. Perrien. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bloomer-Club-cigars-satire-p-adv054.JPG
This cigar-box label goes far beyond reality (indulging in an elaborate social satire and put-on), by imagining that women would wear knickerbockers/bloomers to an elegant social club, and by imagining that such a women’s club corresponded to some men’s clubs in featuring cigar-smoking, heavy drinking, and athletic activities (thus the fencing foils at center top, and the empty bottles near the dumb-bells at lower right).
