Chin Democratic Plain Ribbon Scrap Scraps Tied Ugly
EDITORS COMMENTS
Victorian Scrap: Political Types - Democratic Beauty" is an intriguing and thought-provoking photograph from the late 19th century, captured by an unknown photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library. The image showcases a series of profiles of women, each one representing a different political type, with the central figure embodying the essence of "Democratic Beauty." The women in the photograph are dressed in the fashion of the time, with high collars, large hats adorned with flowers, and elaborate ribbons and bows. However, unlike the idealized beauty of the era, these women are depicted as plain and unremarkable, with some even appearing almost ugly. Their faces are turned in profile, revealing strong jawlines, prominent chins, and expressive features. The central figure, the embodiment of Democratic Beauty, wears a blue hat tied under the chin with a yellow ribbon and a red bow. Her expression is determined and confident, her gaze steady and unwavering. She represents the idea that beauty is not just about physical appearance, but also about inner strength and character. The photograph challenges the societal norms of the time, which placed great emphasis on external beauty and conformity. By highlighting the diversity and individuality of these women, the photographer invites us to reconsider our definitions of beauty and to appreciate the value of authenticity and individuality. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the political and social climate of the late Victorian era. It serves as a reminder that beauty comes in many forms and that the true essence of beauty lies within.
