This print showcases a Saxon comb from 1910, providing us with a glimpse into the fashion and craftsmanship of that era. The comb, made during the Saxon period, is believed to be constructed out of wood or bone. Despite its missing teeth, it exudes an undeniable charm. The illustration comes from the renowned book "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, published in London in 1910. Emily Jessie Ashdown, the talented creator behind this image, captures the essence of English history through her lens. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of timelessness to this piece. It transports us back to a bygone era when combs like these were essential accessories for both men and women. As we admire this relic from the past, we can't help but wonder about its journey throughout history. How many hands has it passed through? What stories could it tell? Emily Jessie Ashdown's photograph serves as a reminder of Britain's rich cultural heritage and our connection to those who came before us. It invites us to explore our roots and appreciate the artistry that once thrived in every aspect of daily life. Let this image transport you back centuries ago as you imagine how people adorned themselves with such intricate pieces – each one telling its own unique story within British history.
