EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the Mary Evans Picture Library, taken at the prestigious Ascot Racecourse in 1910, the mournful atmosphere is palpable as racegoers pay their respects to the recently deceased King Edward VII. The death of the monarch on May 6, 1910, had cast a somber tone over British society, and the annual Ascot Races, held just a few weeks later on June 17, were no exception. Despite the sadness that hung over the event, the ladies of the upper classes saw the occasion as an opportunity to acquire a new dress, and the fashionable black attire became a symbol of both mourning and elegance. The image captures a scene of stylishly dressed women, their faces framed by large hats and veils, as they watch the races with great interest. The men, too, are impeccably dressed in black formal wear, their faces serious and contemplative. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of the social customs and class distinctions of early 20th century Britain. The Ascot Races were a prominent social event, attended by the elite of British society, and the image offers a glimpse into the fashion, etiquette, and social hierarchy of the time. The black attire worn by the racegoers served as a poignant reminder of the recent loss of a monarch, while also providing an excuse for the ladies to update their wardrobes with the latest fashion trends. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the mood and atmosphere of a historic moment in British history. The image is a poignant reminder of the role that fashion and social customs played in shaping the social fabric of early 20th century Britain, and serves as an intriguing glimpse into the past.
