EDITORS COMMENTS
September's Arrival: A Vision of Elegance and Beauty in the Edwardian Era This exquisite photograph, taken in the year 1911, captures the essence of the September season with its timeless charm. The image features a graceful woman in a classical costume, adorned with intricate details and draped in flowing fabrics, standing before an ancient pillar. The serene expression on her face, the gentle breeze in her hair, and the soft light filtering through the trees in the background all contribute to a scene that transports us to a bygone era. The poetic quote inscribed at the bottom of the calendar page, "Fair as the face of Nature did appear when flowers first peep'd, and trees did blossoms bear, and Winter had not yet deform'd the inverted year," is a poignant reminder of the fleeting beauty of the autumn season. This quote, penned by the renowned English poet John Dryden, speaks to the transient nature of the seasons and the importance of cherishing the moment. The photograph and verse together evoke a sense of nostalgia for the Edwardian era, a time when elegance, beauty, and poetry were celebrated in everyday life. The 1910s were a decade of great cultural and artistic innovation, and this image is a testament to the enduring allure of the past.
