"Capturing the Essence of Upper Class: A Glimpse into the World of Elegance and Prestige" Step back in time to 1886, as Georges Seurat's masterpiece "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" transports us to a world where the upper class leisurely strolls along the riverbank, clad in their finest attire. Fast forward to 1914, when J. C. Leyendecker's Arrow shirt collar ad showcases impeccable style and sophistication. The well-dressed gentleman exudes confidence, epitomizing the refined taste of the upper echelons. Even royalty is not exempt from our exploration of this elite society. Young Queen Victoria graces our narrative with her regal presence, embodying grace and poise that befit her royal status. London fog envelops Portland Place in Alvin Langdon Coburn's photograph from c1905. Amidst this atmospheric backdrop, a hansom cab carries members of high society through Marylebone - an area synonymous with fashion and luxury. The visionary industrialist John Deere takes center stage next; his late 19th-century portrait captures a man who rose above social barriers through hard work and innovation – a testament to how one can ascend into upper-class circles. Returning to Leyendecker's artistry in 1916, another Arrow shirt collar ad presents us with an image that exudes elegance. The dapper gentleman donning an impeccably tailored suit represents all that is coveted by those aspiring for membership within this exclusive realm. In contrast to these refined scenes, we stumble upon unexpected company at lunchtime – big fat cockroaches. Even they seem drawn towards opulence as they venture out for their own extravagant meal amidst luxurious surroundings. Golf enthusiasts find themselves immersed in high-society pursuits on Life magazine's golf number cover from 1921 titled "The Wearing of Green.
