Flickr user PostMan has collected postcards from the 1900s and 1910s. The postcards come from around the world, featuring women in the US (bottom left), France, Cambodia (bottom right), Germany, Nepa (top center), the Philippines (top left), Japan (top right), Vietnam (bottom center), and elsewhere. Taken within a couple of decades, the photos show how style of dress and hair trends varied around the globe, with different cultures preferring different types of clothing, hairstyles, and jewelry. They also spotlight the differences in modesty, as one photo of a girl in the Philippines shows her posing nearly nude, while 'erotic' western postcards were quite tame in comparison.
