The Perfect Female Figure


According to the Chicago Tribune, Miss Helen Loewe, a student at the

Chicago Art Institute, is credited by art critics with closely

approaching the standard of physical perfection set by statues of the

goddess Venus. Miss Loewe was posed as a model for a series of

photographs issued for the benefit of the playground fund of Oak Park.



Aside from the artistic nature of Miss Loewe, a comparison of

measurements with those of the typically perfect figure explains part of

the success of these photographic studies.
