Babes in the Wood


(I'm still catching up on the Vintage Photos Theme Park postings I missed while Ipernity was offline.)
A photo of shoes for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.
This is an early twentieth-century comic photo postcard, issued as part of Bamforth's "Life Model Series." The "Babes in the Wood" caption is an ironic reference to the expression meaning a "person who is innocent, naive, inexperienced, or helpless, especially with respect to an unfamiliar situation or environment."
Here, however, we have two not-so-innocent "babes" in wooden stocks who are being punished for some unknown crime. Judging by the debris on the ground around the stocks, it appears that passersby have been throwing garbage at the miscreants.
