French Maid,postcard,c.1920s

Wonderful image.  The doll staring out at the viewer in the right background is a bit creepy and unnerving.  It is the “punctum” of the image as Barthes would say.  In a sense, it catches me, the viewer objectifying the figure and implicates me in the ideology of the French Maid.
