1896 Accessories Amazed Belle Displaying Epoque Hour Lunch Milliners Stand Yearning Hatstand
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Paris in 1896, captures a moment in time as a group of shopgirls take a break from their duties during their lunch hour to indulge in some window shopping for hats. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with high collars, long skirts, and intricate details, these women display expressions of amazement and yearning as they gaze at the array of hats on display. The scene takes place in front of a milliner's shop, where an elegant hatstand is filled with an assortment of hats, each more beautiful and intricate than the last. The hats, adorned with feathers, ribbons, and flowers, represent the height of fashion during the Belle Epoque, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in France. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these shopgirls, who likely worked long hours for meager wages, and the simple pleasure they found in admiring the latest fashion trends. The image also highlights the importance of hats in Victorian and Edwardian society, where they were considered an essential accessory for both practical and aesthetic reasons. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the allure and charm of Paris during the late 19th century, a time when fashion, art, and culture converged to create a unique and unforgettable era. The image is a must-have for anyone interested in fashion history, Victorian and Edwardian costumes, or the history of Paris.
