EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1932, Miss Spilsbury, the daughter of the Home Office pathologist, and her friend gracefully pose as mannequins at a fashion show held at the modern and trendy Show Boat in Maidenhead. The Show Boat was a popular social hub, known for its restaurant, bar, dancing, and swimming facilities, all set in an elegant Art Deco environment. The fashion show, an exciting event in the social calendar of the 1930s, saw the two women showcasing the latest summer trends in hats. The era was known for its innovative and stylish hat designs, and the women's elegant headpieces perfectly encapsulate the spirit of the time. The intricate details of their hats, from the delicate lace trims to the bold feathers and flowers, add a touch of sophistication and glamour to the scene. The Show Boat in Maidenhead was the place to be seen in the 1930s, and attending a fashion show there was a must-do activity for the stylish and trend-conscious crowd. The photograph captures the essence of the era, with its focus on leisure, society, and the joy of dressing up and enjoying life to the fullest. The Art Deco setting of the Show Boat, with its clean lines, geometric shapes, and bold colors, provides the perfect backdrop for the fashionable event. The women's elegant outfits and hats, combined with the stylish decor of the venue, create a visually stunning image that transports us back to a bygone era. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the fashion, society, and leisure culture of the 1930s, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the Art Deco style. It is a must-have for any collection focused on fashion history, social history, or the history of the 1930s.
