Versatility by Ren Wicks

Page from Esquire magazine featuring illustrations of women and descriptive text. On the first page, no. 57, a blonde woman considers her knitting project, which she holds up to her waist with the excess yarn around her chest. She stands in front of a chair that has her clothes on it and next to her knitting bag. Description references Ralph Waldo Emerson and the virtue of young women doing older woman's hobbies. On the facing page, an actress prepares her makeup for a show. She is seen kneeling on a chair in front of a lit mirror and vanity in purple underwear and tights.
