1930s House Porch Pose Woman Bowing Buckle Shoes Step

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from February 1938, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of elegance and charm. A lady and gentleman stand proudly on the porch steps of a grand house, their fancy dress costumes exuding sophistication and style. The man, dressed impeccably in a wig, buckle shoes, and an exquisite suit complete with hat and fan, bows gallantly towards his female companion. The woman is adorned in a stunning flowered dress that perfectly captures the essence of 1930s fashion. Her ensemble is complemented by an elegant hat perched atop her head. With grace and poise, she reciprocates the gentleman's bow while holding onto her delicate fan. This photograph not only showcases the beauty of these individuals but also provides us with a glimpse into the past - a time when attention to detail was paramount in every aspect of life. It reminds us of an era where dressing up was not just for special occasions but rather an everyday affair. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this image serves as a testament to our shared history. It allows us to appreciate the artistry that went into creating such elaborate costumes while offering insight into social customs during this period. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene frozen in time, we can't help but be captivated by its timeless allure.
