EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a specific display of a useful material, showcasing the rich history of the early 20th century retail industry. Taken by an English photographer in the 1910s, this image is part of a private collection that offers a glimpse into the world of drapery and allied trades. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "The Practical Retail Draper" written by Fred W Burgess and published by Virtue around 1912. It beautifully depicts a carefully arranged assortment of clothes made from various textiles, providing valuable insight into the fashion trends and consumer preferences of that era. With its timeless appeal, this image transports us back to an era when shops were filled with exquisite fabrics and garments waiting to be discovered. The attention to detail in this display reflects both the craftsmanship involved in creating these textiles and their importance within society at the time. As we admire this historical snapshot, let us appreciate not only the artistry captured by Bridgeman Images but also recognize how clothing has always been more than just fabric - it tells stories about our past, our culture, and our identity.
