EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Life By The Thames in Early Edwardian Days, 1902" takes us back to a bygone era of elegance and leisure. Captured in 1933 by an unknown creator, the image showcases a group of people enjoying the sunny weather while sitting in the garden of the Ray Mead Hotel at Boulters Lock, Maidenhead, Berkshire. The women featured in this snapshot are seen using parasols as accessories to shield themselves from the sun's rays. In those days, tanning was not considered desirable for gentlemen, and sunburn was deemed unladylike for women. This detail adds an interesting glimpse into societal norms and fashion trends prevalent during that time. The scene exudes tranquility as guests relax amidst lush greenery and charming architecture. The hotel building itself stands tall in the background, evoking a sense of grandeur associated with Edwardian England. It is fascinating to observe how clothing styles have evolved over time; here we see women dressed elegantly in their Edwardian attire. This print offers us a delightful window into early 20th-century life along the Thames River. It captures a moment frozen in time when people would embark on day trips or outings to enjoy nature's beauty and each other's company. Preserved through history by Odhams Press Ltd. , this image serves as a testament to our ever-changing world while reminding us of timeless traditions that continue to shape our lives today.
