Step back in time with this intriguing collection of historical images. From the pages of an Army and Navy Stores Catalogue (1939-40), a lady in a slip (1935) and lacy cami-knickers (1926) are showcased, as seen in a women's journal. Meanwhile, in Palestine during the disturbances of 1936, a police-station at Jaffa Gate remains calm amidst chaos. In an earlier era, a costume man and girl (1899) pose for a photograph, while babies are dressed in long clothes (1863) and a baby lies contentedly. Fast forward to the 1920s, a crochet chemise and a combinaison-jupon add elegance to any wardrobe. These vintage finds offer a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the evolution of fashion and daily life throughout history.
