EDITORS COMMENTS
Meeting Fresh Faces: A Moment of Courtesy on the Train, circa 1914 Amidst the backdrop of the tumultuous early 1900s, with the looming shadow of the First World War on the horizon, the simple act of traveling by train held a certain allure and excitement. This black and white illustration, titled "Meeting Fresh People," taken from the pages of The Etiquette of To-Day, published by The Girls Own Paper in 1914, captures a moment of quiet interaction between two lady travelers. As the train rumbles along, the woman on the left, dressed in a fashionable hat and coat, prepares to lower the window, revealing a picturesque landscape outside. Her companion, seated across from her, looks up from her book, her gaze meeting the viewer's eye. The caption below the image reads, "It is courteous to consult the wishes of a fellow traveller if you want the window altered." This illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of consideration and politeness, even in the most mundane of situations. The etiquette guide, edited by Flora Klickmann, emphasizes the significance of respecting one another's comfort and preferences, a value that transcends time and circumstance. The Girls Own Paper, a popular publication for young women during the 1910s, aimed to provide its readers with practical advice and guidance on various aspects of life. This illustration, from volume 57, page 57, is a testament to the enduring nature of good manners and the importance of treating others with kindness and respect, no matter where life's journey takes us.
