Shop Girl's Sunday Out. American wit and humor. Women clerks (Retail trade) -- Caricatures and cartoons. Clothing and dress -- Caricatures and cartoons. Pride and vanity -- Caricatures and cartoons. A woman in an elaborate outfit smiles and puts one hand on her hip. Her smile reveals gaps in her teeth. The valentien suggests she has an inlfated opinion of herself. Text: In cheap, dinky togs, which you think very fine, / You try every Sunday to cut a big shine; / Of style or of beauty you’ve nothing to speak, / But you make up your shortage with plenty of cheek. / Perhaps you imagine that people you meet / Don’t know what you are as you walk down the street; / If so, you’re in error to think them so green, / For you’re known for a Shop Girl as soon as you’re seen. Provenance: Helfand, William H.. [S.l. : s.n.] [between 1840 and 1880?] Caricatures and cartoons. Comic valentines. digitool:80241 Comic Valentines, 16.12
