Victorian Lady I, by John O'brien // Daydream, Numéro #114, Shot by: Lachlan Bailey
A woman daintily dressed staring out of a window has always seemed to conjure thoughts of romanticism and thoughtful aspirations, a notion that both these images evoke. Many images from the Victorian era portray women this way, showing the forward movement of women's rights. As women began thinking, dreaming, and looking forward they began to question the way in which things were being run. Both images recall this time period where women, ideally placed by the window, are dreamily separated from their aspirations.
side fact- Walt Disney was fond of John O'Brien's works and some copies of his work are in the exclusive Club 33 and in the Disneyland Dream Suite.
