Parental Supervision at the turn of the century
Title
Parental Supervision at the turn of the century
Description
At first look, the first thing that came to my head as I looked at this picture was "Maggie". What this reminded me of Maggie the most was her lonely walks which is speculated to have turned her into the prostitute she became. It also makes me wonder if parenting was not something that wasn't exactly mastered at the time. Considering that these two girls, which seem to be under the age of ten, are walking alone approaching people makes think if these girls are on the same path Maggie was heading towards when she was on her lonely walks. Lastly, it seems that they have past a construction site which again devalues these little girl's parental supervision.
