| Description: | PEEPS THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE WORLD (NO. 60) a streamlined pram Two women wheel a new pram (baby carriage, stroller), thought to be the first ever to be designed on the streamlined principals of motorcar construction, through a park. The pram is completely covered over, like a little car, and has windows with curtains at the side. I think I'd feel a bit closed in inside one. We see the pram with the 'sunroof' down, then one of the women does it up again. Apparently, air can still enter under all conditions. Looks quite futuristic (and claustrophobic). | |
