...would have been an architect," reflected Lord Snowdon, 45, when asked about alternatives to his photography career. "I did architecture at Cambridge, but failed my exams." Architecture's loss was B. Altman's gain. The Manhattan department store last week opened an exhibit of photographs by the royal family's famous inlaw. While Snowdon shuttled between interviews and autograph sessions, store officials hawked his book Assignments at $12.50 per copy. "They're just photographs that reflect or record moments in life," said Snowdon. "If there is a recognizable style, then that's my failing...
Given these distracting surroundings, it is important to remember that the Boston Women's exhibit is both the blurred focus of this present total production and a discrete entity that will move on, and be seen alone. One has the feeling here that the surrounding women's groups are coming out of the woodwork and that, while legitimately interesting on their own, their country fair-like atmosphere is in jarring contrast to the verbal and visual qualities of the exhibit, which must be read and absorbed-theoretically, in tranquility-to be fully appreciated...
...exhibit is literally many-sided, and it has to he described in terms of the overlapping considerations of its concept, content and design. It attempts to give a comprehensive yet necessarily selective presentation of salient aspects of women's historical growth and role transformation in Boston over the last two centuries.

In each group, six panels are joined in a kind of flattened-sawhorse formation so that the panels participate in a connected, four-side, walk-around display. The viewer moves from group to group, circling each separate area. Over each section hangs a long blue banner with the Boston...
...facts pinpointed in this very concise exhibit are each striking and resonant, building up a sense, from grouping to grouping, both of the incredible entrenchment of women's oppression. In the early days of this country's history, and of the many positive accomplishments that have accumulated to bring women today, face to face with the eventual fruits of the accelerating trend toward a basic theoretical equality with men. The gaining of independence by women has been an integral part of this country's social history, and is as much a revolution in its own right as was the political...
