    About These Images:

    While many of these photographs date from the Victorian era (roughly 1860-1901), most are more properly referred to as Edwardian.  The Edwardian era describes the years from about 1901 to 1919.  Edwardian styles were opulent, elegant, and refined.  The camera and photography became more widely available, and ladies and children posed in their finery or against a charming background for portraits.  Other photographers captured scenes of "real people" on the street, in front of their homes or schools, at historical events.

    Also during this time postcards became very popular.  These postal cards featured famous sights, holiday greetings, showgirls and other performers, posed scenes, and personal photos.  Many early postcards originated in France, hence the name "French postcards."  The term French postcard eventually became associated with slightly risqué images (most risqué postcards originated in Paris).

    This collection also includes many photographs of a later vintage, the Twenties, age of the Flapper in her cloche hat.  Women bobbed their hair and donned shorter skirts ~ and eventually voted, thanks to the suffragists!  Make up became fashionable (if still not entirely respectable) for American women thanks in part to returning GIs' experiences with makeup-wearing Parisian "fancy women" during World War I!

    These images of antique and vintage ephemera offer a charming and fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing much about the era and its changing ideals ~ a great way to look at cultural history and fashion trends, or find artistic inspiration.  It is a pleasure to make these images available in this collection.
