Edwardian Era

The Edwardian Era is a period of British history from 1901 to 1910, named after King Edward VII. While technically defined by his reign, it is often extended to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, marking the end of the "Beautiful Era" before the world changed forever. It is characterized by the opulence of the pre-war era, significant technological advancements, the peak of the British Empire, and the distinct fashion of the time, like large hats and elegant gowns.
