EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1948, we witness a remarkable gathering of six pairs of identical twins who have traveled all the way from America to promote a groundbreaking new home perm. Today, these extraordinary twins were honored with a special gift as Mr. Edward Rayne, the esteemed shoemaker to the Royal Family on Bond Street in London, presented each girl with a pair of shoes. To ensure that each twin could easily distinguish her own shoes from her sister's, Mr. Rayne crafted unique initials for every pair. The excitement and joy radiate from their faces as they proudly show off their personalized footwear. From left to right, we see The Duvalls: Doris (seated) and Dorothy; The Leighs: Janet (seated) and Jane; The Woods: Frances (seated) and Elizabeth; The Andersons: Alice (seated) and Alva; The Rings: Kathleen (seated), being expertly fitted by Mr. Edward Rayne himself, alongside Katherine; and finally, the Hansons: Bernadette (seated) and Frances. This photograph captures not only the beauty of these stunning twins but also represents an era when advertising campaigns embraced novelty and innovation. It serves as a testament to the power of fashion in bringing people together across continents while showcasing the craftsmanship of one of Britain's most renowned shoemakers. (Word count: 200 words)
