The Crisis of the Moment - A Glimpse into Aristocratic Cooking Classes in 1920s London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Crisis of the Moment" takes us back to a time when there was a shortage of skilled cooks in London. To address this culinary predicament, the women of English aristocracy eagerly enrolled in special cooking classes. The image captures a group of elegantly dressed ladies standing and sitting attentively in a grand kitchen, adorned with silverware and crockery. Intriguingly, these noblewomen are determined to become proficient "casserole artists" themselves. Under the guidance of expert instructors, they immerse themselves in gastronomic pursuits with great enthusiasm. This scene is an illustration for La Domenica Del Corriere from January 11-18,1920. The photograph reveals not only their dedication to mastering the artistry of cuisine but also showcases their commitment to upholding societal norms and responsibilities. In an era where domestic skills were highly valued among women of privilege, these cooking classes symbolize both adaptability and resilience during times of crisis. Beltrame Achille's exquisite lithograph offers us a glimpse into this unique moment in history when even aristocrats were willing to roll up their sleeves and learn new skills for the betterment of society. It serves as a testament to how individuals from all walks of life can come together during challenging times and contribute towards finding innovative solutions.
