Instructions
Daniel  Harris,  a  scholar  of  consumption  and  style,  has  observed  that  until  photography  finally    illustration  as  the  primary  means  of  advertising  clothing  in  the  1950s,  glamour  inhered    in  the  face  of  the  drawing,  which  was  by  necessity  schematic  and  generalised,  than  in  the  sketchs  attitude,  posture,  and  gestures,  especially  in  the    dainty  positions  of  the  hands.  Glamour  once  resided  so  emphatically  in  the  stance  of  the  model  that  the  faces  in  the  illustrations  cannot  be  said  to  have    at  all,  but  angles  or  tilts.  The  chin  raised  upwards  in  a  haughty  look;  the  eyes  lowered  in  an  attitude  of  introspection;  the  head  cocked  at  an  inquisitive  or  coquettish  angle:  or  the  profile  presented  in  sharp  outline,  emanating  power  the  severity  like  an  emperors  bust    on  a  Roman  coin.
