EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the essence of childhood in Denmark during the Edwardian era, as depicted by two adorable schoolgirls dressed in their winter best in 1903. The girls, clad in double-breasted coats, one featuring plaid cuffs, exude a sense of sophistication and style. Their outfits are completed with warm woollie scarves wrapped around their necks, lace-up boots that protect their feet from the cold, and satchels slung over their shoulders to carry their essentials. The contrasting headgear of the two girls adds an interesting touch to the image. The girl on the left dons a peaked cap, which was a popular choice for girls during the early 1900s. The cap, with its distinctive shape and ribbon, adds a playful and youthful touch to her outfit. In contrast, the girl on the right wears a flat straw hat, which was a common choice for girls during the warmer months. The contrast between the two hats highlights the changing seasons and the versatility of children's fashion during this era. The girls' outfits are reminiscent of the skating costumes of the time, with their coats and boots suitable for ice skating, making it likely that they are on their way to or from the rink. The image captures the innocence and joy of childhood, as well as the attention to detail and care put into children's clothing during the Edwardian era.
