Great Way to the Races: Chic and Frosty Edwardian Elegance, 1912 This photograph, titled "Great Way to the Races," transports us back to the early 20th century and the height of Edwardian fashion. The image, captured in 1912, showcases a group of fashionable women making their way to a horse race, bundled up against the winter chill. The women's attire is a stunning display of opulence and elegance, reflecting the extravagance of the time. Each woman wears a voluminous, fur-trimmed coat, their collars turned up against the cold. Furs were a symbol of wealth and status, and these luxurious wraps, made from minks, foxes, or sables, were essential for keeping warm during the winter months. A clutch bag is tucked under the arm of one woman, while another carries a netted, tulle bag, adorned with intricate beadwork and feathers. Hats, topped with plumes of ostrich or peacock feathers, protect against the elements, while netting veils add a touch of whimsy and romance. The women's outfits are completed with long, flowing skirts, often made of heavy velvet or wool, and intricately designed blouses, complete with lace collars and cuffs. Muffs, often made of ermine or sable, are tucked under their arms, providing an extra layer of warmth. Despite the frigid temperatures, these racegoers exude an air of confidence and sophistication, their outfits a testament to the importance of fashion, even in the most unfavorable weather conditions. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the elegance and charm of the Edwardian era, and a celebration of the enduring allure of horse racing.
