Notes

This work is untitled: the title has been supplied by the cataloguer.
The following description was provided by James Gardiner: "A young woman and a young man, both smoking cigarettes and wearing similar clothes. Women's fashions changed radically between 1900 and 1925: short skirts, short hair and a completely flat silhouette resulted in many popular jokes about androgyny".
