I Was Shaving Myself at the Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating music cover from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s, featuring a man in the midst of his morning routine. The image, written and composed by Fred Hastings, was sung by Bernard Russell and published by Sidney Kent, a renowned music publisher of the time. The photograph depicts a man in a well-tailored suit, standing in front of a full-length mirror, meticulously shaving himself. He holds a shaving brush in one hand and a razor in the other, while a soap dish and a shaving mug rest on the edge of the washbasin nearby. The man's reflection in the mirror shows the serious concentration on his face as he carefully shaves, no doubt ensuring a close shave before starting his day. The cover art exudes an air of sophistication and the importance of personal grooming during the late Victorian era. The man's attire, the polished mirror, and the elegant surroundings all contribute to the image's timeless appeal. The use of monochrome tones adds to the vintage feel, transporting us back to a bygone era. Fred Hastings, a prolific composer of the time, penned the lyrics and melody for "I Was Shaving Myself at the Time," while Bernard Russell lent his vocal talents to the recording. Sidney Kent, a respected music publisher, brought the composition to life, ensuring its widespread distribution and popularity. This music cover is a testament to the attention to detail and dedication to personal appearance that defined the late Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and routines that once shaped our daily lives and continues to inspire us with its timeless charm.
