U10-Overview-A5-Portfolio-A Digital Exhibition

 

Each of the photos below came from the Google photo archives.

I chose the Progressive Era photos because they represent the era they come from in this era. In this era women were uniting for rights to vote and alliances were formed to get things done such as proper meat inspections(left) and children were used as workers and worked long, hard hours with poor working conditions (right). The pictures of WWI were troops going to war (Left) and troops returning home (right). The pictures of the Great Depression were soup lines (Left) and a worried mother (right). The pictures of the Jazz Age were of a jazz band which had a bass, horns, etc. (Left) and flapper dancers (right). The pictures of WWII were of "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" (Left) and the "V-J Day" photo of the nurse kissing the soldier when they heard that WWII was over (right). I choose each of these photos because they captured the essence of the time period; however, these periods were so much more than just two photos can really represent.
