EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fashionable Shape 1906," showcases the iconic silhouette of the Edwardian era as embodied by the enchanting actress Camille Clifford. The image, preserved in the vast archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the historical fashion trends of over a century ago. The glass silhouette at the forefront of the print serves as a visual representation of the ideal female form during the early 1900s. The hourglass shape, characterized by a small waist and full hips, was a desirable and coveted figure for women of the time. Camille Clifford, with her graceful posture and elegant attire, perfectly encapsulates this fashionable silhouette. However, upon closer inspection, it is important to note that the waistline of the actress may have been subtly retouched in the photograph to further emphasize the desirable hourglass figure. This was a common practice during the era, as photographers and artists often manipulated images to enhance the perceived beauty of their subjects. The intricate detailing of Camille's costume, with its flowing lines and delicate lace, further accentuates the elegance of the Edwardian era. The high collar, long sleeves, and voluminous skirt are all characteristic of the fashionable clothing of the time. As we admire this image, we are transported back to a bygone era, where the hourglass figure reigned supreme and the ideal of feminine beauty was defined by a small waist and full hips. The historical significance of this photograph, coupled with the timeless beauty of Camille Clifford, makes it a must-see for anyone with an interest in fashion history.
