Queen Alexandra, 1910


Queen Alexandra, 1910, originally uploaded by Gatochy.

"Queen Alexandra wears a Cartier necklace in 1910. She was famous for wearing high chokers in the style shown and for wearing a daring amount of make-up, in so doing rejecting the fashion for natural complexions."

Scanned and quoted from the book "Decades of Fashion" by Harriet Worsley.
