EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 1900s, a well-dressed baby sits on a wooden stool, gazing curiously at the camera with bright, inquisitive eyes. The baby's long clothes, which include a frilly shirt, a pair of knickers, and a voluminous dress, are accessorized with an elaborate high lacy bonnet that adds a touch of elegance to the outfit. The bonnet's intricate design features delicate floral motifs and a tall, pointed crown, making it a fitting complement to the baby's regal appearance. The baby's nurse maid, who stands behind the stool, is dressed in the traditional attire of the time. She wears a short cape made of heavy fabric, which is fastened at the neck with a brooch. Her headgear is a square-shaped affair, adorned with a scalloped edge that matches the hemline of her apron. The apron, which covers her skirt and falls to her ankles, is also adorned with a scalloped edge and features a series of buttons that run down the front. The nurse maid's expression is warm and nurturing as she looks down at the baby, her hands gently resting on the child's shoulders. The photograph captures a moment of tender affection between the two, highlighting the close bond between the baby and its caregiver. This photograph is a beautiful example of the fashion and social norms of the Edwardian era, a time when elaborate costumes and formal attire were the norm for both children and their servants. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of daily life were cherished.
