EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful photograph from 1913, we find Ethel and her young brother, both dressed in their finest fancy attire, engaging in a playful moment of sibling mischief. The scene is a charming satire on the extravagant fashion trends of the early 1910s, particularly the penchant for women to wear large and enveloping hats. Ethel, a young girl with a bright grin on her face, dons a voluminous white dress adorned with intricate lace detailing and a large, ornate hat that seems to dwarf her petite frame. Her hat, adorned with a cascade of feathers and a monacle-embellished ribbon, is a clear nod to the exaggerated headpieces popular among women during this era. In her hand, she carries a dainty handbag, adding a touch of sophistication to her outfit. Her younger brother, with a mischievous smile on his face, wears a matching suit and top hat, complete with a buttonhole and a long walking stick. He appears to be pretending to be a dapper gentleman, trying to outshine his sister in their shared game of dress-up. The siblings' playful expressions and their coordinating outfits add to the fun and whimsical atmosphere of the photograph. As we look at this image, we are transported back in time to a simpler era, where siblings could find joy in the most ordinary moments and where fashion could be a source of both fun and satire. The large hats, once a symbol of women's status and elegance, are now a reminder of the quirks and eccentricities of the past. This photograph is a testament to the power of sibling bonds and the enduring appeal of a good laugh.
