EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Colonel W.J. Bosworth, an elegant and distinguished gentleman of the Edwardian era. Dated 1909, the image showcases Bosworth's impeccable attire, consisting of a frock coat, grey striped trousers with a front crease, half boots, a wing collar, a carnation buttonhole, and most notably, a monocle. The colonel's hands are placed in his pockets, adding to the relaxed yet poised demeanor. The frock coat, a staple of formal Edwardian wear, is tailored to perfection, with its double-breasted design and satin lapels. The grey striped trousers, with their crisp front crease, complement the coat and exude an air of sophistication. The half boots, worn with grey socks, complete the outfit and protect the colonel's legs from the elements. Bosworth's wing collar shirt is adorned with a carnation buttonhole, a popular accessory for gentlemen during this time. The monocle, perched on his right eye, adds an intriguing element to his appearance, suggesting that he may have had vision issues. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the sartorial elegance and refined style of the Edwardian era. The colonel's confident and composed expression, combined with his well-appointed attire, make for a striking and timeless image.
