The back of this card is inscribed “To Edie with love from Jauie?” I’m hoping that “Jauie” is the maid standing at the back on the right wearing an apron, she has a lovely smile and “dancing” eyes.
Edwardian Maid
This is a rather nice picture of an Edwardian Maid, I suspect from the back of the card “Copies or enlargements from this Photo may be obtained from J. Deayton, 203 Wimborne Rd., Winton, Bournmouth, by quoting No. 564B” that she had this taken for her family or loved one. However I wouldn’t recommend using it with a job application as her laundry / ironing skills need to be honed, although she may have spent too much time ensuring that her collar and cuffs were thoroughly starched.
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
