Accessories Gentleman Legs Narrow Puttees Putting Waisted Watched Wraps
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a moment in history as a gentleman carefully wraps his puttees around his legs, while being watched by his narrow-waisted wife. The scene is set in 1906, showcasing the intricate costume and accessories of the time.
The gentleman appears focused on putting on his puttees, a type of legging commonly worn by men during this era. His wife stands by attentively, her slender waist accentuated by the fashion of the period. The attention to detail in their attire provides a glimpse into the sartorial preferences of early 20th-century society.
As they engage in this mundane yet intimate act, we are reminded of how clothing and style have always played a significant role in defining social norms and relationships. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its depiction of fashion trends but also in the subtle dynamics between husband and wife.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this moment from the past, allowing us to step back in time and appreciate the beauty and complexity of historical dress. This print serves as a visual reminder of how even everyday tasks can offer insight into our cultural heritage.
