EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1899, showcases a fashionable woman of the late Victorian/early Edwardian era enjoying a leisurely day at the seaside. The elegant lady dons a beautiful pink polonaise, a popular fashion trend of the time. The wrap-over front of her dress is ornately decorated with white flowers, adding a touch of femininity and grace. The under-skirt of the dress features accordion pleats, which accentuate her figure and create a voluminous silhouette. The woman's bonnet is adorned with a striking combination of black and pink ostrich feathers, which complement the colors of her dress. The feathers are artfully tied together with a bow, adding a playful and whimsical touch to her outfit. In her hand, she holds a frilly parasol, which provides shade from the sun and adds an air of sophistication to her look. The scene is set in a tent or marquee, possibly part of a seaside resort or garden party. In the background, we can see a deckchair and other signs of a relaxed and enjoyable afternoon by the sea. This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the late 19th century, a time of elegance and opulence. The intricate details of the woman's outfit and the idyllic setting transport us back in time, making this a truly captivating and historical image.
