A Winter's Forage for Christmas Decorations: A Young Woman in Ermine Date: 1915 In this evocative image from the early 20th century, a young woman braves the winter chill as she sets out to gather fir branches for Christmas decorations. Bundled up against the cold, she dons an elegant ermine stole, scarf, and hat, each adorned with the luxurious fur of the ermine. The ermine muff, with its plush paws, adds an extra layer of warmth and cosiness. The ermine, a symbol of wealth and status, was a prized possession for the well-to-do during this era. The opulence of the fur, with its distinctive black-tipped white fur, was a testament to the wearer's affluence and refinement. The woman's aigrette and plume, perched atop her hat, further accentuated her fashionable attire. Despite the cold and the challenges of foraging in the winter landscape, the young woman's determination is evident in her focused expression. The branches she carries over her shoulder will be transformed into festive decorations for her home, adding warmth and cheer to the holiday season. The scene captures the spirit of the season, as well as the enduring allure of luxury and the lengths one would go to create a cosy, inviting atmosphere amidst the winter's chill.
