Aspidistra Attire Best Bricks Dec18 Flat Paving Sailor Starched Sunday Terraced Windowsill
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of a working class family in their Sunday best attire, circa 1906. The image portrays a sense of pride and togetherness as the family of five poses outside their small, terraced home. The father, dressed in a sailor suit and flat cap, stands confidently with his arms crossed, while his wife, wearing a starched collar and an elegant dress with a cross-hatch pattern, holds their youngest child. The other children, a boy and a girl, are dressed in their finest clothes, looking smart and well-behaved. The setting of the photograph is that of a typical Edwardian working class neighborhood, with paving stones and red bricks lining the streets. The family's home, with its windowsill adorned with an aspidistra plant, adds a touch of warmth and homeliness to the scene. The family's Sunday best attire was a symbol of their hard-earned respectability and their dedication to maintaining a sense of dignity and pride in their appearance, even in their spare time. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the social and cultural norms of the time, when families would go to great lengths to present themselves in the best possible light on Sundays, a day of rest and relaxation. The image also highlights the importance of family and community in working class life, as the family gathers together to enjoy a moment of happiness and togetherness.
