EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'The Last Silk Stocking,' captures the essence of glamour and nostalgia from the 1940s. The image features a graceful and alluring woman reclining in an easy chair or chaise lounge, dressed in a delicate negligee. With a thoughtful expression on her face, she carefully inspects the last remaining silk stocking in her hand. During the 1940s, British illustrator David Wright created over 160 illustrations or pin-ups, collectively known as 'David Wright's Lovelies.' These captivating images were published weekly in The Sketch, a popular British magazine, and became a source of comfort and inspiration for soldiers, sailors, and airmen serving in the military during World War II. The series proved hugely popular, and 'The Last Silk Stocking' was one of the most beloved images from the collection. These evocative photographs adorned practically every military mess, bunker, dormitory, and club room in the country, providing a touch of home and elegance amidst the harsh realities of war. David Wright's Lovelies were produced between 1940 and 1947, and their enduring popularity is a testament to the power of art to uplift and inspire. This photograph, in particular, has become an iconic representation of the 1940s and the resilience and grace of the women of the era. This image is a historical artifact that transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place.
