EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from 1916, an admirer bows before a lady in a lush garden, his intent gaze fixed on her delicate hand. As he presses a tender kiss to her palm, she closes her eyes, a mix of surprise and pleasure playing across her features. But as his lips trail up her wrist, she can't help but wonder how far this romantic interlude will go. This moment, captured in time, offers a glimpse into the etiquette and customs of a bygone era. The dark, moody setting of the garden adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The couple's silhouettes are illuminated only by the soft glow of nearby lanterns, creating an intimate and secretive atmosphere. The lady's elegant gown, with its flowing lines and intricate detailing, speaks to the refined sensibilities of the time. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the history of courtship and romance. The act of kissing a lady's hand was a common gesture of respect and admiration in the early 20th century. But as the admirer moves up her wrist, the line between respect and desire begins to blur. This moment, full of uncertainty and anticipation, is a reminder of the complex and often contradictory nature of romantic relationships throughout history. The image also serves as a reminder of the evolution of social norms and customs over time. Today, the act of kissing a lady's hand is a relic of a bygone era, replaced by more modern expressions of affection. But the essence of the moment - the tenderness, the mystery, and the excitement of a romantic connection - remains timeless.
