• This period covered the reign of King Edward VII (1901 to 1910),
Edward was part of a fashionable elite which set a style
influence by the art and fashions of continental Europe. The era
had significant shifts in politics, great social changes and the
solidification of the power and luxury of the ruling elite. Wealth
was abundant and nearly income tax-free, society was no
longer a small, exclusive circle confined to those of aristocratic
birth; the arts produced genius and modern movements; travel
was cheap and easy and technological advances were thrilling
and amazing. The British class system was very rigid and there
was an increasing interest in socialism, attention to the plight of
the poor and the issue of women’s suffrage, as a result of rapid
industrialization.
