Visual Variety

media begins at the entrance

of the Victorian era – then

extends through the Jazz Age.

A similar range of women’s

images of women are shown

here, commencing with numerous

nineteenth-century depictions

of lovely, lacy ladies of leisure —

transformed. Social changes

brought about women’s votes

–and the men’s Great War.

Emerging images of American

women presented ‘the girl’ –

petulant, smoking, immodest.

The value of distracted vixens

rocketed with ‘the boys’ gone.

Yes, this is all exhibited here.
