A Collection of Edwardian Theatrical Portrait Photographs
A charming and evocative collection of original Edwardian framed portrait photographs, dating from the early 20th century, depicting children dressed in an array of theatrical and fancy dress costumes. Beautifully capturing the innocence and pageantry of the Edwardian era, the subjects are shown as cherubs, cupids, soldiers, dancers, harlequins and performers, all professionally photographed in period studio settings.
The collection comprises a wonderful variety of original black and white and sepia photographs, each retaining its original frame, with an appealing mix of ebonised, oak, gilt and painted examples in differing shapes and sizes. The frames themselves add to the character and authenticity of the collection, reflecting the decorative tastes of the period.
they provide a fascinating glimpse into Edwardian social history and the popularity of children’s theatrical costume.
in total there are 24 individually framed photographs
Priced at just over £40.00 each and to be sold as a complete collection of twenty four. £1000.00
