In the Victorian period, a well-to-do croft on the Isle of Skye stood as a testament to prosperity amidst rugged landscapes. Its grandeur echoed through time, showcasing the wealth and success of its owners. The opulence extended beyond borders, as seen in the interior of the Casino at Enghien-les-Bains, France. A playground for the affluent, it exuded elegance and sophistication that only money could buy. Traveling back to 17th century Russia, we catch a glimpse of a young well-to-do married couple. Their lavish attire and regal demeanor spoke volumes about their privileged status in society. Across continents in Buenos Aires, a smart well-to-do young girl twirled her hoop with grace. Her refined upbringing was evident not just in her expensive clothes but also in her poise and confidence. As night fell over London in 1881, well-to-do theatregoers flooded out of the iconic Lyceum after an enchanting performance. The evening had been filled with entertainment fit for those accustomed to luxury. Amidst all this splendor were reminders of safety precautions like link extinguishers - symbols that even those who lived comfortably recognized potential risks and took measures to protect themselves. A portrait captured another moment frozen in time - thought to be the Roubel family enjoying each other's company within their lavishly decorated interior. Love and affluence intertwined seamlessly within these walls. Easter Eggs adorned town squares in 1908; their vibrant colors mirrored the joy felt by both wealthy families indulging their children's whimsy and less fortunate ones savoring simple pleasures during festive times. Scarborough became a haven for holidaymakers seeking respite from bustling city life. Here, a well-to-do couple reveled in leisurely strolls along Yorkshire's shores while relishing luxurious accommodations tailored to their every desire. Fashion played its part too; one couldn't help but notice a girl wearing a high-quality skirt with a remarkable hairstyle.
