Edwardian Era 1901-1919

The Edwardian era corresponds to the reign of King Edward VII in Great Britain, whose short-lived governance (1901-1910) followed Victoria's long reign and preceded the modern House of Windsor in England. The "Edwardian" style broadly encompasses the years of 1901 through to 1919. Browse through vintage photographs, from 1900 through 1919 and take a look at days gone by.

Happy girls at Christmas, especially the youngest one. I think this is my favorite vintage Christmas photo. As I look at it closely...I see the falling popcorn garland, and how carefully they staged all their toys. I think there's a box of paper dolls under the 🎄too! They are so proud of what 🎅 brought them.
All the children wearing their Sunday best! Christmas c1910.
