EDITORS COMMENTS
Dressing for Dinner: An Intimate Moment of Service in the Early 1900s This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet preparation and service in the elegant world of an early 1900s English country house. Lady Anna Olliff-Cooper, dressed in a flowing, high-necked gown, sits before her dressing table, her reflection in the mirror revealing the grace and poise of a woman of refinement. Her maid, Eva Morrison, attends to her, skillfully arranging her hair with deft fingers and a gentle touch. The scene is one of intimacy and trust, as the Lady places her faith in her maid's expertise to help her present herself at her best for an important dinner engagement. The dressing table, laden with an array of cosmetics, perfumes, and hair accessories, is a testament to the time and care devoted to the art of personal grooming in this era. Eva Morrison, dressed in her uniform of starched cap, apron, and cuffs, is a picture of professionalism and dedication. Her expression is focused and attentive, a reflection of the unwavering commitment of the servant class to their duties. The contrast between the elegant Lady and her humble servant underscores the social hierarchy of the time, yet the warmth and mutual respect between them are palpable. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century domestic service and the intricate dance of dressing for dinner. It is a poignant reminder of the intricacies of class, status, and the intimate relationships that existed between the wealthy and their servants.
