Accessories Comedienne Dainty Heart Locket Nellie Stuffed Trimmed Ward Worn Fashionable
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the dainty and fashionable comedienne, May Ward, donning an Edwardian-era hat adorned with a stuffed bird. Dated back to 1906, this hat, known as "Nellie," was a popular accessory of the time, adding an air of elegance and whimsy to any outfit. The hat's brim is trimmed with an exquisitely detailed stuffed bird, its beak slightly open as if in song, while its wings are spread wide, adding a playful touch. May Ward's outfit complements the hat perfectly, with a delicate blouse and a flowing skirt that accentuates her slender figure. The hat's ribbon, adorned with a heart-shaped locket, adds a feminine touch to the ensemble. The hat's base is made of a rich, velvet fabric, while the brim is trimmed with a fur edge, making it a warm and cozy addition to her winter wardrobe. The comedienne's expression in the photograph is one of delight and amusement, as if she is enjoying the attention her hat is receiving. The photograph captures the essence of the Edwardian era, a time when fashion was an expression of one's personality and social status. This photograph is not only a snapshot of May Ward's personal style but also a window into the fashion trends of the early 20th century. The intricate detailing of the hat, the delicate fabric of May Ward's blouse, and the heart-shaped locket all add to the overall charm of the photograph. It is a reminder of a bygone era, where fashion was an art form, and accessories like Nellie, the stuffed bird hat, were cherished and worn with pride.
