  • There are 3 woman enjoying their picnic.
  • Two of them are smiling looking at the camera and the other one is looking at them, which seems like they are having a really good time.
  • They look like they wealthy because they are wearing  a formal shirt and a tie, with a long black skirt. It makes me completely sure they are wealthy by observing their black hats with a feather on them. The hat makes them look fancy.
  • the picture looks like its taken in the afternoon. Probably because picnics are planned in the afternoon because in a picnic you eating lunch.
  • its taken in the year 1899. Therefore, it was in the progressive era when women started to stand out and “have a voice” in this country
  • its taken in a lake. The woman are sitting besides the lake on grass.
  • it looks like theres no buildings or houses just grass that expands everywhere surrounding the lake.
  • The photographer maybe was a journalist from the progressive era that took the photo to show how woman were   standing out and doing as they pleased with no containment.
  • The message in this photograph may be that little by little woman are gaining freedom in society.

  1. Many of you have noted a connection between the date, 1899, and the fact that the photograph shows only women. Let’s think about this in class. How can a photograph depict the progress of women’s rights, and what does this photograph have to do with that? Perhaps if we saw more photographs from this photographer, we could draw more of a conclusion about the message.
