Buttoned Buttons Unusual Watch Wristwatch
EDITORS COMMENTS
This studio portrait, dated circa 1907, showcases an elegant woman dressed in an unusual ensemble that defies the conventional fashion norms of the Edwardian era. The woman's dress, adorned with intricate beadwork and a bold, geometric design, is both striking and unconventional. The buttons on her dress, instead of being arranged in a traditional line, are artfully arranged in a diagonal pattern, adding an unexpected element to the garment. But the true focus of this social scene is the woman's wristwatch. At a time when pocket watches were the norm, this woman's decision to wear a wristwatch is a clear indication of her modern and independent spirit. The watch, with its unusual design featuring a large, round face and ornate decorative elements, adds to the overall allure of the portrait. The portrait's backdrop is simple, allowing the woman and her unique attire to take center stage. The muted, soft focus of the photograph adds to the dreamlike quality of the image, making it a captivating and intriguing glimpse into the past. This portrait is a testament to the woman's individuality and her willingness to challenge societal norms, making it a fascinating and intriguing piece of Edwardian history.
