Etiquette Flora Klickmann Publication Tens To Day Volume

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white illustration, titled 'The Invitation,' captures the essence of anticipation and excitement as two young ladies eagerly receive an invitation to an event from The Etiquette of To-day book. Published by the Girls Own Paper in 1914, during the tumultuous period of the First World War, this illustration offers a glimpse into the refined social customs and traditions of the 1910s. Flora Klickmann, a renowned editor, oversaw the publication of this volume, which aimed to provide guidance on the intricacies of social etiquette for young girls. The illustration, which is believed to have been created around the same time, beautifully encapsulates the sense of importance and excitement that came with receiving an invitation to a social event during this era. The two young women, dressed in their finest attire, are shown seated at a table, their faces filled with delight as they carefully read the contents of the elegant envelope before them. The invitation itself is depicted as a beautifully designed piece of stationery, with intricate calligraphy and an embossed crest. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, where social etiquette and formal invitations held significant importance in people's lives. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the elegance and sophistication of the early 20th century.
