    Surprisingly not the blatant misogyny I expected given the title

    Though the typography has me feeling this is a potentially bit more modern than 1913, however I’m not quite sure when this sort of sans-serif tabloidy style became prevalent, so I could be completely off the mark.

      don’t know about the tabloidy style but grotesque types started in the 19th century. makes sense that it would be popular enough in the early 20th century, leading into art deco, which is mostly associated with sans serif types.

        The typography in the picture is not from 1913. It is modern. The text may be transcribed from a 1913 text, but it would not have looked like that in the slightest.

        Edit: Someone posted the link, it is from a 2007 edition of The Daily Mail.

      You are correct. The typograhpy in the picture is completely modern. It may be a transscription from a 1913 text, but the picture doesn’t show a 1913 text, and there is no source given, so you are right to be suspicious.
