Answer:
notice.
1. The fashion in the photos has changed over time. Females were dressed in large dresses and wore very modest clothes.
2. In the 1920's image, it shows a female in a new outfit, showing more skin, even though it still is not much. She is smiling and reading a book as if showing that she is entertained.
3. It says at the bottom- "We ask you- Which would you rather?" I notice this because it gives females a choice and preferences, showing that women can make their own decisions- nowadays. In the past, this was very much NOT the case.
4. I notice the hair in the two different women. The 1820's woman has it very tightly pulled back and styled very neatly, whereas, in contrast, the 1920's woman is wearing a more comfortable and less tight hairstyle.
wonder.
1. I wonder why the fashion style had changed between these two pictures. Perhaps it was females fighting back for their rights, with a crushing, intimidating patriarchy in their way?
2. I wonder why it asks at the bottom: "we ask you- which would you rather?" It is quite a mind-bender to think what others might say to this question, and why their answer would be that.
3. I wonder why they chose 1820 and 1920. These are specific years when the artist could have just said the 1800's and 1900's. Perhaps it could have been that the norms in fashion in those specific years had shown a significant difference, but I still wonder why those specific years were selected for this art piece.
4. I wonder why they chose the women to be holding books in both illustrations. Although the piece mostly focuses on fashion and looks and levels of confidence, both women are holding books, which might signify intelligence and smarts. Perhaps this is symbolizing that even with fashion norms from the 1820s to the 1920s, females were still no less smart? I
I hope this helps! I learned a lot from this question as well! I hope you have a wonderful day! <3
