EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a betrousered lady feeding pigeons in the iconic Trafalgar Square, back in 1933. The creator of this timeless image remains unknown, but their ability to freeze this moment in time is truly remarkable. In an era when women wearing trousers was still considered taboo, this smoking woman fearlessly dons a stylish trouser-suit right at the heart of central London. This bold fashion statement not only showcases her individuality but also reflects the changing social norms of that time. It's fascinating to think that just a few decades earlier, Western women could have faced arrest for daring to wear such attire. The photograph is part of "The Pageant of the Century" published by Odhams Press Ltd in 1933. It beautifully encapsulates the spirit and fashion trends of the 1930s with its depiction of a fashionable female figure clad in a coat and jacket ensemble. Trafalgar Square serves as an animated backdrop for this scene, bustling with people and pigeons alike. The lady's act of feeding these birds adds an endearing touch to the composition, showcasing her compassion towards nature amidst the urban landscape. Henry E White's expertise as "the print collector" ensures that we can appreciate every detail captured within this snapshot from history. As we gaze upon this intriguing image today, it reminds us how far society has come since those days while also celebrating individual expression and embracing change.
