  • I stopped reading after the first example. One of them is described as “good” and the other as “bad”. The bad one though does not actually fix the errors in the good one, but just leaves them out. The good one seems to be only an introduction. The bad one seems to be trying to convey content. Surely not very well, but comparing an introduction with content is like comparing apples with pears.

    Do what are the symbols of progress here? The woman in the center seems to be commenting on the progress rather than depicting the progress itself, she she seems to be loving it.

    For actual symbols, we have planes, skyscrapers, a fort, a chemist, the world and an engineer.

    I can see how all these depict progress, but the fort seems to be overly racist. I can only understand this as the conquest against the native Americans which is depicted positively here. But I guess that’s just how people thought back then.
