1. Title: "An Edwardian Lady's Dilemma: What to Wear on One's Head for a Motor Ride in 1906" 2.. In the early 20th century, the advent of motor vehicles brought about a new wave of excitement and fashion trends. For the elegant and fashion-conscious Edwardian lady, a motor ride was an alluring invitation, but one that came with a conundrum: how to protect her prized coiffure from the wind and dust of the open road? This image from 1906, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a selection of headwear options that were popular among ladies preparing for a motor ride. The photograph, filled with an air of sophistication and intrigue, invites us to explore the various hats and veils that offered both style and practicality for the motorist lady. The lady in the foreground dons a stylish motor cap, complete with a veil that shields her delicate curls from the elements. The cap's wide brim and ribbon detailing add an element of chic to her ensemble. To her left, a lady in a striking feathered hat gazes intently at a hatbox, filled with an array of options. Among them are a wide-brimmed sun hat, a close-fitting cloche hat, and a demure bonnet with a net veil. Each hat is thoughtfully arranged, revealing the meticulous consideration given to the selection. In the background, another lady, perhaps a friend or companion, looks on approvingly from the safety of a stationary vehicle. Her own coiffure is protected by a voluminous veil, which billows in the wind, adding a sense of drama to the scene. This photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the world of Edwardian fashion and the lengths ladies went to preserve their precious hairstyles while enjoying the thrill of motor transport.
