Woman walking
Captured around 1906, this evocative image shows a young woman walking with poise and purpose along a London pavement in Kensington — an elegant borough already known then for its refined architecture and leafy streets. Her attire, complete with a high-collared blouse, gloves, and a fashionable feathered hat, reflects the Edwardian ideals of modesty and grace. Look closely and you’ll even spot a curious little dog in the distance, adding charm to this quiet street scene.
This photograph dates from the same year Rolls-Royce Limited was officially formed (March 15, 1906), ushering in a new era of British engineering and refinement — a time of transition and transformation, much like the changing role of women in society.
