He Kisses her Hand - A Timeless Gesture of Respect and Admiration in Fashion History
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1924, titled "He Kisses her Hand (She permits him to kiss her hand, trusting he has noticed her dress) by Doeuillet," we are transported back in time to an era of elegance and refinement. The image showcases a couple engaged in a traditional yet intimate moment of greeting, with the woman gracefully offering her hand for her partner to kiss. The woman's exquisite attire, adorned with intricate beading and a flowing silhouette, speaks to the fashion trends of the time. Her dress, a symbol of femininity and sophistication, is a testament to the importance of appearance and presentation in the early 20th century. The man, dressed impeccably in a suit and hat, displays the height of gentlemanly etiquette as he bows before his partner in respect. The gesture of kissing a woman's hand was a common practice in European society during the late 1800s and early 1900s. It was a sign of respect, admiration, and courtship, and was often used as a formal greeting between acquaintances or as a way to express affection between loved ones. The woman's trust in allowing her partner to kiss her hand was a sign of her confidence and faith in his intentions. This photograph, captured by the renowned French photographer Doeuillet, is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and customs surrounding fashion, relationships, and etiquette. It invites us to reflect on the enduring power of a simple yet meaningful gesture, and the importance of trust and respect in our own lives. The image is a testament to the timeless nature of human connection and the enduring allure of fashion, offering a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the importance of preserving the traditions that shape our world today.
