EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled 'Last Look in Mirror' (circa 1900), captures a moment of quiet reflection and self-presentation as a woman prepares to leave her home. The mirror, positioned at an angle to allow for a full view of her reflection, reflects not only her face but also her dressing table laden with the accessories of the era: a hatbox filled with various hats, a boater perched on the edge, and an array of combs, brushes, and cosmetics. The woman's costume, a high-necked blouse with a full skirt and a fitted waist, is reminiscent of the Edwardian era, a time of opulence and elegance. Her expression is thoughtful, her gaze fixed on her reflection as she adjusts the hat on her head, ensuring every detail is perfect before stepping out into the world. The toilet, with its ornate porcelain basin and gilded fixtures, adds to the sense of luxury and refinement. The room, bathed in soft natural light filtering through the window, is a testament to the meticulous care and attention given to personal grooming during this time. This photograph, a beautiful example of early 20th century photography, offers a glimpse into the daily life and routines of women during this era. It invites us to ponder the significance of the 'last look in the mirror' before embarking on the day's activities, a moment of self-assurance and self-presentation that remains relevant even in our modern world.
