1. Title: The Humorous Side of Sport: Smart and Suitable Suits for Sportswomen, Tatler, 1st December 1909 2.. This intriguing set of black-and-white photographs from the Tatler magazine, published on the 1st of December 1909, showcases the fashionable and functional attire for sportswomen during the Edwardian era. The images, titled "The Humorous Side of Sport," depict two elegant ladies engaged in shooting sports, demonstrating the transformation of their tailored outfits as the chase intensifies. On the left, the first photograph captures the ladies in their complete shooting outfits, consisting of a well-tailored jacket and a matching skirt. The ladies' posture and serious expressions convey their focus and determination as they prepare for the sporting event. However, the right-hand photograph reveals a humorous and unexpected twist. As the pace of the chase quickens, the ladies have discarded their skirts, leaving them in the stylish yet abbreviated knickerbockers. The ladies' expressions now reflect a sense of excitement and amusement, as they adapt to the demands of the sporting pursuit. These images offer a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and societal norms of the early 1900s, where sportswomen were encouraged to be both fashionable and functional in their attire. The Tatler, a prominent society magazine of the time, showcased these images to its affluent readership, highlighting the growing popularity of sporting activities for women and the evolution of appropriate clothing for such pursuits.
