Description

Quite short on text, little appears besides an opening blurb that details the 'Season's' duration, An Edwardian Season more than makes up for it with its vivid, eye-catching illustrations of the privleged set and the various diversions they enjoyed. Images of a busy shopping street and the sporty carriages travelling it, the successful dressmaker's salon, and an evening ball are just some of the scenes that bring that time to life with a mere look.

Description

Depicts various aspects of the "season" in Edwardian times when the wealthy classes and aristocrats converged on London for a succession of entertainments at Court, the opera, the races, country estates, etc.
