EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, titled "Claude & Sister" and dated 1912, captures the essence of Edwardian childhood fashion during the winter season. The sister, elegantly dressed in a blue pelisse with a cape and fur trim, wears a matching muff and hat, adding an extra layer of warmth and style to her outfit. Her pelisse, a type of short coat with a cape attached, is lined and features intricate braid trim, while her muff and hat boast luxurious fur accents. The brother, dressed in a fur-lined coat with brandenbourgs and a fur hat, embodies the rugged charm of winter attire for boys during this era. Brandenbourgs, also known as spatterdashes, are protective flaps that extend from the bottom of the coat, shielding the wearer from mud and rain. The gaiters on both children's outfits further emphasize their preparedness for the harsh winter conditions. The siblings' outfits showcase the attention to detail and craftsmanship that characterized Edwardian fashion. The pelisse's frog coat fastenings, which are secured by a bow or loop, add a touch of sophistication to the girl's ensemble. The children's expressions of joy and playfulness convey a sense of happiness and warmth, making this photograph a delightful glimpse into the past. This image, courtesy of Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique insight into the fashion and lifestyle of Edwardian children during the early 20th century. It is a precious reminder of a time when winter clothing was not just functional but also a statement of style and elegance.
