Edwardian Woman Crossdressing In Suit And Cane 1901 Real Photo Postcard

The attire of the gentleman, featuring a three-piece suit, bow tie, and a prominent flat cap, places this portrait firmly in the Edwardian era, roughly 1900-1920. The flat cap, or tweed cap, became a popular informal headwear for all classes, transitioning from working-class attire to a leisure accessory for gentlemen, particularly favored for sporting activities or country outings. His well-tailored suit reflects the sartorial standards of the period, emphasizing structured silhouettes and formal elements even with the more relaxed cap choice.
