Choosing Crop Difficulty Goggles Jodhpurs Jodphurs Sporting 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage print from 1919 captures a man in a state of indecision as he struggles to choose between two very different types of sporting women. On one side, we have the traditional riding girl, dressed in jodhpurs and holding a crop, exuding an air of elegance and grace. On the other side, we see the modern motoring girl, with her goggles and confident stance, representing freedom and independence.
The contrast between these two women reflects the changing times of the early 20th century, where societal norms were shifting and women were beginning to assert themselves in new ways. The man's difficulty in choosing between them speaks to the complexity of navigating these changing gender dynamics.
As we look at this image through a historical lens, we can appreciate how far women have come in terms of their roles in sports and society. From the restrictive attire of traditional riding gear to the more practical and liberating clothing worn by motoring girls, this photo encapsulates a pivotal moment in history.
Ultimately, this print serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength of women throughout time, as they continue to break barriers and defy expectations.
