Afternoon Clad Elegantly Ensemble Escorts Expect Hotels Patou Porter Rewarded Servants Task Taxi Umbrella Woollen 1929
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the glamour and elegance of 1929 with this stunning print from Mary Evans Picture Library. In this image, a hotel porter is seen escorting a woman - elegantly clad in a woollen afternoon ensemble by Jean Patou - to her waiting taxi. The porter's task is described as onerous, but one for which he will expect to be handsomely rewarded.
The scene captures a moment of history when travel was an affair of luxury and sophistication, with hotels employing dedicated servants like this porter to attend to their guests' every need. The woman's winter coat and umbrella speak volumes about the fashion of the era, while the grandeur of the hotel setting adds an air of opulence.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to a time when style and grace were paramount. The attention to detail in both the woman's ensemble and the porter's uniform is exquisite, showcasing a bygone era where appearances mattered greatly.
This print serves as a reminder of days gone by, when even simple tasks like hailing a taxi were done with flair and finesse. It is truly a piece that evokes nostalgia for a more refined age in travel history.
