EDITORS COMMENTS
A Gentleman's Chivalry: Opening the Door for a Lady, circa 1914 This beautifully illustrated scene from the pages of The Etiquette of To-day book, published by The Girls' Own Paper in 1914, depicts a quintessential example of chivalry and polite behavior during the early 20th century. The black and white illustration, located on page 96 of the volume, shows a well-dressed man gracefully opening the door for a lady as she approaches, her elegant gown trailing behind her. The Etiquette of To-day was a series of books published by The Girls' Own Paper, a popular British magazine for young women, between 1909 and 1914. The series aimed to provide practical advice on social graces, manners, and etiquette for young women during the early 1900s. This particular illustration highlights the importance of a gentleman opening the door for a lady, a custom deeply ingrained in the social norms of the time. The illustration also serves as a snapshot of the fashion and social climate of the early 1910s, a time when the world was on the brink of significant change. The First World War, also known as World War I or the Great War, was just a few years away, and the world was about to be forever altered. However, in this moment, the focus is on the simple act of politeness and respect between a man and a woman, a tradition that continues to hold significance even today. The illustration, edited by Flora Klickmann, is a testament to the elegance and refinement of the era, and serves as a reminder of the importance of manners and etiquette in our daily lives. The scene is a beautiful example of the power of small gestures to create meaningful connections between people and to make a lasting impression.
