EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and welcome to the 1930s, an era of moral dilemmas and intriguing entertainment, where the line between legality and law was often blurred. This print showcases a scene from the Strip Tease card game, featuring the character Miss Prim, or "Prudie," in her grey armchair, prudishly scrutinizing the cards in her hands. The Strip Tease card game, introduced in the 1930s, was a complex and intriguing pastime that brought together elements of morality, entertainment, and a touch of the adult theme. The game was designed for two variants, allowing players to assume the roles of both the performer and the prosecutor, adding an extra layer of excitement and tension. In this image, Miss Prim, with her grey hair, glasses, and stern expression, embodies the prudish character who is tasked with prosecuting the person or theatre presenting the striptease. The cards in her hands suggest that she has been dealt a strong hand, and her determined gaze indicates her resolve to uphold moral standards. Despite the suggestive nature of the game, it was a popular form of entertainment during the 1930s, offering players a chance to explore the complexities of morality, legality, and the human condition. The Strip Tease card game, with its intricate rules and engaging characters, continues to fascinate collectors and historians, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of moral ambiguity and intrigue.
