EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the Mary Evans Picture Library, titled "Peacock Styling 1916," offers a delightful blend of satire and historical fashion. The photograph showcases a woman, dressed in an exaggerated and bold outfit inspired by the peacock's vibrant plumage. The voluminous short skirt, adorned with bold stripes and colors, is a striking contrast to the antique accessories that accompany it. The woman's panniers and reticule add an air of elegance and nostalgia, harkening back to a bygone era. However, the satirical undertones of the photograph become apparent as she is surrounded by a peacock and a crane, both proudly displaying their own magnificent feathers. The birds are contained within a birdcage, adding to the irony of the scene. The use of the peacock as a muse for fashion is not a new concept, as the bird's stunning colors and elaborate tail feathers have long been a source of inspiration for designers. In 1916, the trend towards bold and exaggerated styles was in full swing, and this photograph offers a humorous commentary on the fashionable modes of the time. The historical context of the photograph is further emphasized by the inclusion of the aviary and the cage, which were popular accessories for the wealthy during the early 20th century. The juxtaposition of the modern fashion trends with the antique accessories and the caged birds creates a thought-provoking and visually stunning composition. Overall, "Peacock Styling 1916" is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a satirical take on the fashion trends of the time while paying homage to the beauty and elegance of the peacock.
