Step back in time with the elegance and grandeur of Edwardian costume. From political posters to oil paintings, this era was defined by its distinctive style and sophistication. In a vibrant colour lithograph, a Liberal Party Poster for the British General Election of January 1910 captures the spirit of the times. The poster showcases individuals adorned in exquisite Edwardian attire, reflecting their support for progressive politics. Grace reading at Howth Bay is an enchanting oil on canvas that transports us to a serene coastal scene. Amidst the beauty of nature, Grace's flowing gown epitomizes Edwardian fashion - delicate lace details and soft pastel hues create an ethereal vision. Consuelo Vanderbilt, Duchess of Marlborough, captivates us in a drypoint from around 1901. Her regal presence is enhanced by her opulent Edwardian ensemble - rich fabrics and intricate embroidery speak volumes about her status as one of society's elite. Colonel Harry Lindsay and his wife Norah stand proudly at the gates to Sutton Courtenay Manor House in a black-and-white photograph from The English Manor House collection. Their impeccable outfits reflect their refined taste and adherence to social norms during this period. Alice Keppel shares an intimate moment with her daughter Violet Trefusius in a timeless black-and-white photograph from 1905. Both mother and child are dressed impeccably; Alice exudes gracefulness while donning an elegant Edwardian gown that perfectly complements her poise. The Punch and Judy Show comes alive through an oil painting from 1912, showcasing not only entertainment but also glimpses into fashion trends of the time. Elaborate hats adorned with feathers or flowers adorn ladies' heads while gentlemen sport tailored suits complete with top hats - true reflections of Edwardian charm. An advertisement for Vichy-Cusset Mineral Water transports us to Paris through its vivid colours captured in another striking lithograph.
