You don't see a lot of men featured in this art genre.
There are plenty of Victorian ladies, children, butterflies and roses.
You see birds, fairies, and the occasional kitten.
But the menfolk are a bit more rare.
Why is this? I cannot say.
Rugged and masculine can be
just as artistically appealing
as bluebirds and sunflowers.
But I will almost always reach for a feminine theme,
maybe because it is just easier,
me being female and all.
These carpooling gents make me smile.

The carpool is great, but it is the fisherman that really makes me smile. :)
Nice collection of gentlemen you have there!
The carpool is hilarious. Love those carpooling guys. However, like Amy, I LOVE that fisherman. I love the fact that he is CHEAP since I am always looking for a bargain. I like the way he does not beat around the bush about it but just states the facts plain and simply. I too have noticed a shortage of men in these vintage pictures. What up with that?
I'm with you on the vintage guys - they deserve more attention! Thanks for stopping by.
