About MeTo keep spirits up, the munitions girls of this factory performed pantomimes. Isabella Park, a milliner who lived and worked in Aberdeen, helped to make the costumes. This is the garden party scene of Sleeping Beauty, and shows the women in their leisure time when not working in the factory. Isabella is on the left-hand side of the leading lady, dressed in masculine clothing.
