EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties, with two fashionable flappers, dressed in the latest trends of the era, eagerly waiting for a bus that never comes. The scene is set in the quaint town of Wilton, in the year 1923. The flapper on the left dons a cloche hat, a symbol of the times, perched atop her bobbed hair. Her dress is adorned with intricate beadwork and fringe, reflecting the glamour and excitement of the Jazz Age. Her companion, on the right, wears a similar hat and a dress with a bold geometric pattern. Their expressions are full of anticipation and hope, as they wait for the elusive bus to arrive. The bus stop, a simple wooden bench, adds to the rustic charm of the image. The public transport system was a vital part of everyday life during the 1920s, and this photograph beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the times - young women embracing new freedoms and fashion, and the promise of adventure that lay just beyond the horizon.
