Etiquette Flora Klickmann Publication Tens To Day Volume

EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting black and white illustration, taken from page 75 of The Etiquette of To-day book, published by The Girls Own Paper in circa 1914, captures the essence of a traditional wedding reception during the early 1900s. The First World War was in full swing, and the world was going through significant changes, but the joy and beauty of a bride's special day remained unchanged. The illustration shows a radiant bride, dressed in a beautiful white gown with a lace veil, delicately cutting a multi-tiered wedding cake with a gleaming silver knife. Surrounded by her happily married couple friends, the bride's smile shines bright as she savors the sweet taste of marriage. The room is adorned with elegant table settings, fresh flowers, and the warm glow of candles, creating a cozy and romantic atmosphere. The Girls Own Paper, edited by Flora Klickmann, was a popular publication during the 1910s, providing advice and guidance on various aspects of life for young women. The Etiquette of To-day book was one of its many volumes, offering insights into the social graces and manners expected of women during that era. This illustration, in particular, serves as a charming reminder of the importance of celebrating life's milestones, even amidst the challenges and uncertainties of the time. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate folds of the bride's gown to the delicate embroidery on the cake, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the illustrator. This image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment of joy and happiness from a bygone era.
