EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A NY Theatrical Group" takes us back to the vibrant theater scene of New York City in the 1930s. In this historic image, we witness a group of five women entertainers showcasing their talent on stage. Dressed in elaborate costumes, they exude an air of confidence and charm. What makes this photograph truly unique is the unconventional nature of these performers. With their plus-size figures, they challenge societal norms and redefine beauty standards even during a time when being overweight was stigmatized. Their presence on stage not only highlights their exceptional skills but also serves as a powerful statement against body shaming. The monochromatic composition adds a touch of nostalgia to the image, transporting us to an era filled with vaudeville acts and theatrical wonders. As we observe these remarkable women, it becomes clear that their weight does not define them; rather, it is their talent and passion for performing arts that shine through. This intriguing snapshot from Underwood Archives captures both the humor and quirkiness inherent in vaudeville performances while shedding light on important social issues surrounding body image. It serves as a reminder that art has always been a platform for self-expression and empowerment, breaking barriers along the way.
