Two Women in Fancy Dress: A Playful Celebration of Friendship and camaraderie in the 17th Century Mood This delightful photograph, taken in approximately 1928, captures the moment of pure joy and merriment between two women as they raise their tankards of beer in a toast to their enduring friendship. Dressed in elaborate 17th century costumes, the women don knickerbockers, shirts, and waistcoats, evoking the spirit of roisterous revelry from that era. Their androgynous attire adds an intriguing layer to their playful personas, blurring the lines between gender norms and societal expectations. The women's faces are filled with amusement and silliness, as they cross dressing and celebrating in a lighthearted manner. Their costumes, reminiscent of breeches, knickerbockers, and pantaloons, were popular choices for women's costumes during May Day celebrations and other festive occasions. The image is a testament to the power of friendship and the freedom it brings, allowing these women to embrace their playful sides and revel in the joy of the moment. The tankards in their hands, filled with beer, symbolize the shared experience and the bond that only deepens with each sip. This photograph is a charming reminder of the importance of friendship and the joy of celebrating it, no matter the time or place. The women's laughter and the warmth of their connection radiate from the image, leaving us with a sense of joy and nostalgia for a simpler time.
