The bridge crush
1910
Step into a 1910 high-society gathering where the real game isn't on the green felt, but in the social dynamics! A glamorous woman in a red dress holds a pool cue, looking cool and collected while four tuxedo-clad men crowd around her, practically tripping over themselves for her attention. Published by the famous satirical magazine *Puck*, this illustration humorously captures the 'crush'—an old term for infatuation—these men have on her. It’s a lively snapshot of the Golden Age of Illustration, showing a woman confidently commanding the room in what was traditionally a male-dominated space.
