EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and whimsical photograph from 1895, a rather feeble suitor named Phil is shown kneeling before his beloved, attempting to win her heart with an outlandish and loud suit. The suit, with its large puffed shoulders, puffy sleeves, and checkered pattern, is a clear indication of the fashion trends of the time. The suitor's expression is one of nervous anticipation, as he implores, "Oh! Smile upon my suit." The object of his affection, with a playful twinkle in her eye, responds, "I do, I do. I can't help it." Her smile is warm and inviting, and her eyes are filled with amusement at the spectacle before her. The couple, dressed in their finest attire, exude an air of romance and affection, despite the somewhat foolish and feeble display of the suitor. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when courtship was a more theatrical and performative affair. It is a reminder that love and romance can be found in the most unexpected places, even in the midst of outlandish and foolish displays. The image is a beautiful and historical representation of the human experience, and a testament to the enduring power of love and affection.
