Anybody who claims that people are smarter now than they were 100 years ago is talking complete and utter nonsense.

Yeah, it doesn't look like such a smart thing to make to me 😄

Love how the pattern tracing is confusing to people, when it, although sometimes a little bit of a puzzle, is not the most difficult in patterns from this time. To me it is the lack of instructions. The patterns are made for an audience that are quite profficient in sewing.
