EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1938, between the wars, in Knightsbridge, London. Tattersalls is abuzz with excitement as exhibits of live furs have arrived for a much-anticipated show opening the next day. The image showcases Mr CR Verner from Fitchatts Fur Farm in Plaistow, Sussex, standing proudly beside two exquisite Fitch brad animals. These furry creatures are not just mere curiosities; their fur holds immense value in the world of fashion. It is used to create elegant capes and wraps that adorn women with style and sophistication. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the craftsmanship involved in transforming these living beings into fashionable garments. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to this photograph while emphasizing the timeless elegance associated with fur fashion during that era. This piece of Europeana photography captures a moment when society's fascination with luxurious materials merged seamlessly with nature's beauty. As we admire this remarkable image by TopFoto. co. uk, let us appreciate it as a historical artifact rather than focusing on its potential commercial use. It serves as a reminder of how our perception of fashion has evolved over time while also prompting reflection on our relationship with animals and their place within our sartorial choices.
