Not long ago, I posted some original 1911 Paris millinery fashion
chromolithographs here on
my blog as well as in my Zibbet
shop ... and the response has been wonderful!
And just now, taking a look at my Zibbet shop now ... it's is being over-run by
Edwardian fashions ~ I just cannot get enough! So today, I thought I'd post
another group of those beauties.
This time, a grouping of Harrison Fisher's
beautiful ladies. Whether on the cover of The Ladies Home Journal Magazine,
illustrating a book of (really really awful schmaltzy) poetry, or
portraying women helping the cause with World War I Red Cross posters, Fisher,
creator of the 'American Beauty', truly set the standard for feminine beauty
during the Edwardian Period.
Timeless. Gorgeous to frame, simply or ornately. Fisher's beauties can handle it.
And these were my father's very most
favorites. He thought them feminine and charming and he never ever tired of
them. I do believe Daddy was correct ♥

Karen, are the titles from the magazines yours or originals. 'Grooming the Bride' is a topic for conversation!!
September 1, 2010 at 7:56 AMYes ~ all my Fisher lithos are from the original books, either American Beauties or Fair Maidens, I've used the actual book titles whenever possible. Most of the 'titles' are taken from the poem that Fisher was illustrating and are really awkward, in wording and in today's meaning ~
September 1, 2010 at 8:05 AM"And Yet Her Eyes Can Look Wise" or "Her Bosom's Like A Frozen Lake" or "I Care Not Though Her Teeth Are Pearls"
Some are fairly straightforward and make sense ~ "Cupid's Captive"
But there *are* one or two which were untitled, i.e. 'Elegance in Black', and I must take the blame for the naming ~ I tried to keep it in line with the others, without sounding ridiculous, and hopefully succeeded with most :\
No Edwardian chickens? Hmmmmm!
