EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Trying on Clothes - Ladies" by an anonymous artist, transports us back to the 1920s, a decade defined by its fashionable and liberated spirit. The image, dated 1923, depicts a group of ladies gathered around a spacious wardrobe filled with an array of clothing. Each woman, with a thoughtful expression on her face, carefully selects an outfit and examines herself in the mirror, adjusting the garment to fit just right. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a time of significant cultural and social change, and this photograph encapsulates the era's essence. The women's fashion of the time is on full display, with flapper dresses, drop-waist silhouettes, and cloche hats all making an appearance. The setting, a cozy and inviting home environment, adds to the charm of the scene. The artist's use of natural light and the women's relaxed body language create a sense of intimacy and camaraderie. The ladies seem to be enjoying the process of trying on different outfits, savoring the experience of self-expression and self-care. The photograph is a beautiful reminder of the importance of trying new things and embracing change, values that remain relevant even today. This photograph, part of the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-see for anyone interested in fashion history, the 1920s, or simply the joy of trying on new clothes. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era and invites us to reflect on the enduring power of fashion to inspire and delight.
