EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures an intimate moment from the early 1900s, as Mr. Edgar, the Edwardian butler, performs his role as valet for Sir John Olliff-Cooper, the Master of the house. The scene unfolds in the luxurious confines of a traditional English toilet, adorned with ornate wallpaper, a porcelain washbasin, and a gilded mirror. Mr. Edgar, dressed in his formal livery, carefully prepares for the morning shave of his employer, meticulously arranging shaving supplies on the marble shelf. Sir John, seated in a plush armchair, leans back with a trusting expression, exposing his vulnerable neck as Mr. Edgar expertly wields a cut-throat razor. The air is thick with the scent of shaving soap and the quiet hum of anticipation. This ritualistic act of grooming not only signifies the beginning of a new day but also symbolizes the deep bond between the Master and his loyal servant. The use of a cut-throat razor, an essential tool of the time, adds an element of tradition and elegance to the scene. This photograph, a re-enactment from the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of Edwardian etiquette and the unique relationship between a Master and his valet. The image, brought to us by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich history of domestic service and the enduring allure of the Edwardian era.
