EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Charming Illustration from The Etiquette of To-Day (circa 1914) Step back in time with this enchanting black and white illustration, taken from the pages of The Etiquette of To-Day, published by The Girls' Own Paper around 1914. This image, found on page 50 of the volume, depicts two small, neatly-dressed children warmly welcoming a lady visitor into their home. The scene exudes an air of politeness and grace, reflective of the social etiquette of the early 1900s. As the world grappled with the tumultuous events of the First World War (1914-1918), the importance of maintaining decorum and adhering to social conventions was emphasized more than ever. The Etiquette of To-Day, edited by the esteemed Flora Klickmann, served as a valuable guide for young girls and women navigating the complexities of social interactions during this period. The illustration showcases the children's attentiveness and eagerness to please, as they rise from their seats to greet their visitor with open arms and genuine smiles. The lady visitor, dressed in an elegant gown and hat, returns their warmth with a gracious nod and a welcoming smile of her own. The children's home, adorned with flowers and tasteful decor, further emphasizes the importance of creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests. This illustration is a delightful reminder of the manners and etiquette that once shaped social interactions during the 1910s, a time of change and transformation. The intricate details and delicate shading in the illustration serve to transport us back to a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the elegance and charm of a more refined time.
