This ready-to-wear offering was designed for young gentlemen between the ages of eight and fifteen years. The classic Eton suit, complete with a top and matching trousers, was available in both black and grey fabric options. The Edwardian era, characterized by its opulence and elegance, is beautifully represented in this advertisement through the use of intricate detailing and sophisticated color palette. The young boy, dressed in the suit, exudes confidence and refinement, making it clear that Peter Robinson's Eton suits were the go-to choice for fashionable and well-groomed children of the late 1800s. The suit itself is a testament to the high-quality craftsmanship of the time, with its tailored fit, crisp lines, and elegant lapels. The accompanying bowler hat adds an extra touch of sophistication, making this ensemble a must-have for any young gentleman looking to make a stylish impression. This advertisement also serves as a reminder of the importance of fashion in the lives of children during the late 1800s, with clothing serving as a symbol of social status and wealth. The use of the Eton suit, a style that had been popularized by the students of Eton College in England, further underscores the importance of following fashion trends, even at a young age. Overall, this advertisement for Peter Robinson's Eton suits offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural norms of the late 1800s, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical fashion imagery.
