EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in Washington, D. C. on January 2,1928, we witness a moment frozen in time - the departure of Postmaster General Harry New and his wife from the White House after attending the New Year reception. Amidst a sea of somber formal wear worn by other Cabinet members, their eye-catching coon skin coats steal the spotlight. These collegiate-famed fur coats attract considerable attention as they stand out against the backdrop of monochromatic attire. The couple's fashion choice reflects both their individuality and their desire to stay warm during this cold winter day. The image captures an era when animal skins were still considered fashionable outerwear. As Mr. New dons a top hat and Mrs. New wears a matching hat with her elegant ensemble, they exude an air of sophistication that is characteristic of senior adults during that time period. This vintage photograph not only showcases historical fashion fads but also provides us with insight into social norms and customs prevalent in North America during the 1920s. It serves as a reminder of how times have changed while simultaneously allowing us to appreciate timeless elegance captured through photography. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Underwood Archives at Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back to an era where couples like Mr. and Mrs. New made bold statements through their unique sense of style amidst political gatherings in our nation's capital city.
