EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1915, a young lady shields herself from the intense sun rays at the seaside with a striking red Oriental parasol and a wide-brimmed straw hat. The vibrant red of the Japanese parasol pops against the serene backdrop of the horizon, adding a touch of Eastern allure to her ensemble.
The woman's choice of accessories reflects the fashion trends of the time, showcasing an appreciation for exoticism and Orientalism in Western culture. The parasol not only serves as a practical tool for shade but also as a statement piece that adds elegance and sophistication to her look.
As she stands by the shore, it is easy to imagine her escaping into a world of tranquility beneath the canopy of her parasol, momentarily shielded from the chaos and uncertainty brought about by World War I raging on in distant lands. Her poised demeanor and stylish attire exude grace and resilience in the face of adversity.
This print by Mary Evans captures a moment frozen in time, where beauty meets functionality amidst changing landscapes. It serves as a reminder of how even in times of turmoil, there is still room for glamour and escapism through simple yet exquisite accessories like this red Oriental parasol.
