EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1908, showcases the bustling entrance of Hodgkinson, a British Drapery Store located at 214 Edgware Road in London. The scene exudes the vibrant energy of Edwardian commerce, with the elegant facade of the store drawing in passersby. The ornate signage, adorned with the name "Hodgkinson" and the enticing offer of "Ladies' Outfitting, Millinery, Hats," beckons to women seeking the latest fashion trends. The staff, clad in crisp uniforms, pose proudly at the entrance, welcoming customers with warm smiles. The men, dressed in formal attire, appear attentive and ready to assist, while the ladies, donning stylish hats and elegant dresses, exude an air of sophistication and professionalism. The street outside is alive with activity, as horse-drawn carriages and motorcars navigate the crowded pavement, and pedestrians bustle about their daily errands. The atmosphere is one of excitement and anticipation, as shoppers eagerly enter the premises to explore the wares within. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1900s and the thriving world of Edwardian trade. The intricate details, from the ornate signage to the impeccably dressed staff, make this an essential addition to any collection of historical images of London's rich commercial history.
