― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
"Being a woman is a terribly difficult trade since it consists principally of dealings with men."
― Joseph Conrad, Chance
Two black and white illustrations that originally appeared in a 1904 issue of French fashion magazine, La Mode Illustreé. These antique graphics show profiles of Edwardian woman enclosed within a floral frame (I think the flowers are yellow tansy). One is wearing a hat and the other seems to be deep in thought.
