EDITORS COMMENTS
Here is a possible caption for the photo print:
**The Weaker Sex: A Humorous Take on Gender Roles**
This delightful illustration by William Ridgewell, created in the early 20th century, playfully pokes fun at traditional gender roles. Titled "Time was when we men considered ourselves pretty good, However there may be compensations in store", this lithograph print is a humorous commentary on societal expectations of masculinity and femininity during that era.
In this clever depiction, Ridgewell's artwork shows a man sitting comfortably with his feet up, surrounded by various timepieces indicating the passing hours. The accompanying caption suggests that men once thought themselves superior to women, but perhaps there are hidden benefits or "compensations" in store for them instead. This lighthearted and whimsical illustration is not only an amusing commentary on gender dynamics of the past but also a testament to Ridgewell's skill as an artist.
This charming print comes from William Ridgewell's book, "Line and Laughter: A Book of Drawings", published in 1934. It offers a unique glimpse into the social attitudes and cultural norms of that time period while providing entertainment for modern audiences.
