Adjusts Dressed Nighty Scantily Shoes Stands Stocking Underwear 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet introspection and self-possession from the Roaring Twenties. The lady in the image, dressed in little more than a nighty, stockings, and shoes, stands before a mirror, adjusting her hair with a determined expression. The year is 1919, a time of great social and cultural change, as women gained newfound freedom and independence. The delicate lace of her nightgown, combined with the stockings and shoes, suggest a sense of both vulnerability and strength. The woman's posture, with one hand on her hip and the other adjusting her hair, exudes confidence and self-assurance. Her gaze, fixed on her reflection, reveals a woman who is comfortable in her own skin and unafraid to embrace the modern world. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the transformative era of the 1920s, a time when women's fashion and social norms began to shift dramatically. It also speaks to the universal experience of getting ready for the day, a simple yet profound act of self-care that resonates with us all. This image, preserved in the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the complexities and contradictions of women's history. It is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of women, who have always found ways to navigate the changing tides of society and make the most of each moment.
