Description Colorized photo from 1912Original Title: Elliott Taylor Wooldfenden, MillineryPhotographer: Detroit PublishingLocation: 2473-2481 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, Mi (orig address 1-37 Henry St)The Edwardian era, a time to look as pretty as possible. It was also known as the Beautiful era or La Belle Epoque if you want to be fancy. The hats in these days started small and became larger and larger each year. Often containing feathers, silk flowers, real flowers, twigs, ribbon etc. They were lavishly decorated and were quite huge, to the point that people would ask them to remove it while watching a moving picture. They ignored the complainer and just got taller hats. To make it worse they had tall hair, and if the hat wasn't wide enough it just got taller instead.These hats were often called picture hats or a Gainsborough. They were made to frame a ladies face. Some of them features entire stuffed birds, even little hummingbirds for the rich. But they were worried they would destroy the entire population of birds. So the hatters switched out birds for ostrich feathers. As you can gather them as they fall off. Many liked to keep them up to date so they added real flowers and wore them in the garden often for tea. They were then named Garden Hats, for that very reason. Moving pictures had the greatest influence on these hats. After the release of the Three Musketeers, all the ladies wanted to wear tricorne or bicorne hats, hats with corners that weren't all round. They had more dimension since they had basically wall space on the sides of their head now. No one mentioned how they kept them in balance though. And quite a few look way to big for their head, like that lady in the back.

There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
