José Guadalupe Posada, the Mexican artist famous for his skeletal 'Calaveras,' here presents a tiny, stark profile of a woman with a towering hairstyle set against a bold yellow square. Below her sits a cheeky Spanish poem complaining that 'these fashions no longer exist,' lamenting that women used to be fully covered up but now 'almost undress.' It's a classic example of Posada's work as a popular illustrator, using simple imagery and verse to poke fun at the changing morals and trends of his time, proving that people have been complaining about modern clothing for over a century.
