I guess "Rosie" the dummy is a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_the_Riveter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_the_Riveter

  Probably a reference to Rosie the Robot, from the Jetsons.

    It's Rosie the Riveter. It's dressed up like her, apparently.

      Yes, "she" wears a red headscarf similar to the "We Can Do It" WW2-era poster: https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2019/12/20/meet-rosie-boeings-first-anthropometric-starliner-commander/ https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2019/12/20/meet-rosie-... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_the_Riveter#/media/File:We_Can_Do_It!_NARA_535413_-_Restoration_2.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_the_Riveter#/media/File:...

  Off topic, but some of those photographs are stunning

    Wow, they really are. I think they are colorized. Here one comparison of the original [0] (taken in the 30s/40s!) in comparison to the image on Wikipedia [1] [0] http://loc.gov/pictures/resource/fsac.1a34931/ http://loc.gov/pictures/resource/fsac.1a34931/ [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_the_Riveter#/media/File:ConsolidatedWomenWorkers.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_the_Riveter#/media/File:...

      Nope. It's why people still to this day can't let go of Kodachrome.

        The first thing I thought when I saw those photos was — large format Kodachrome. Those clearly have the color pallet of Kodachrome and many of those old WWII era propaganda color photos were shot on 4x5.

    Also amazing to see how little has changed process wise.
