EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment of youthful indignation during a Bank Holiday excursion in the late 1890s. The young girl, dressed in her finest Sunday best, is seen looking displeased as she notices a woman wearing a similar fancy hat to her own. The caption reads, "Just like Er. Been an copied my at!" The observant child, possibly a sister or a friend, is taking the photo, capturing the humorous and comic circumstance. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where fashion and individuality were important expressions of one's social status. The use of identical hats on this Bank Holiday trip must have been a source of annoyance, miffed, cross or even copycat behavior for the young girl. The photograph offers a glimpse into the historical context of British society during the late 1800s, where such small details and nuances were significant and could cause quite a stir. The image is a delightful reminder of the amusing and often relatable moments of human nature, even in the most unexpected places.
