EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Benedict Birkbeck, formerly Jacqueline Harriet Alexander (1892-1955), is depicted in this portrait wearing a Bersaglieri-style hat, a fashionable accessory inspired by the military headgear of the Italian allies during World War I. Dated to 1915, this image showcases the unique blend of fashion and military influence that characterized the era. The Bersaglieri hat, named after the Italian infantry regiment, was characterized by its tall, cylindrical crown and distinctive cockade. This hat was not only a symbol of Italian pride and military prowess but also a popular fashion trend among the European elite, particularly during the early years of the war. Mrs. Birkbeck's elegant attire, featuring a flowing dress and a fitted jacket, is accentuated by the bold and stylish hat. Her confident and poised demeanor exudes an air of sophistication and glamour, making this portrait a striking representation of the fashionable women of the time. The intricate details of the hat, from the crisp crease of the crown to the delicate placement of the cockade, are expertly rendered in this photograph. The use of natural lighting and the subtle tonal variations in the print further enhance the overall impact of the image. This portrait of Mrs. Benedict Birkbeck offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the fashion trends, military influences, and societal norms of the early 20th century. A true testament to the enduring allure of historical portraits, this image continues to captivate and inspire us today.
