EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a moment in history that speaks volumes about societal norms and beauty standards. In the image, a fat lady is seen admiring her own substantial reflection in the mirror, with a caption that reads: "Whatever you do, girls - keep your figger!"
The scene depicted here is both humorous and poignant, as it reflects the pressure placed on women to maintain a certain body shape even in 1926. The woman's expression of admiration for her own figure highlights the importance placed on physical appearance during this time period.
The concept of weight and body image is one that has evolved over the years, but this photograph serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained these ideals have been throughout history. It also raises questions about how culture and society influence our perceptions of beauty and self-worth.
As we look back at this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the complexities surrounding issues of weight, dieting, and body image. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of embracing diversity and challenging traditional beauty standards.
Overall, this print offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the past while sparking important conversations about body positivity and self-acceptance.
