Refreshing Moments: A Chivalrous Gesture in the 1890s (Refreshment Break - bringing the ladies drinks, circa 1898) In this photograph from the late 1890s, an elegant evening social event unfolds as a well-dressed man gracefully balances a tray laden with glasses and plates, making his way through a crowd of beautifully costumed ladies. The scene exudes an air of sophistication and refinement, as the ladies engage in animated conversations, their finely detailed dresses rustling softly with every movement. The man, with a determined yet gentle expression on his face, skillfully drops off a drink for each lady, ensuring they remain hydrated and refreshed throughout the evening. His chivalrous act, a common courtesy during social gatherings of the time, is a testament to the etiquette and manners that defined the era. The intricately designed glasses, with their delicate stems and ornate bases, add an element of elegance to the scene, while the plates, adorned with delectable treats, further enhance the sense of indulgence and enjoyment. The warm, inviting glow of the room's lighting casts a soft, romantic hue over the entire scene, adding to the overall allure of this enchanting moment in time. This photograph, titled 'Refreshment Break - bringing the ladies drinks,' is a captivating reminder of the grace and charm of social events during the late 1800s. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when such thoughtful gestures were the norm and the art of bringing refreshments to one's guests was a cherished tradition.
