On this day in 1901, the Edwardian Era began.

This 1902 French evening gown belonged to Queen Alexandra - she was a lady who liked to sparkle! Bling is not just a 21st century trend!!

The 1 in 100 year rainfall vibe reminds me about the 2014 #EPCOR #Flood #Mitigation Study that shows potential surface ponding depths tinyurl.com/2w3xj3bw #Yeg #Parkallen #Garneau #McKernan #QueenAlexandra
Green (0.00 - 0.35 m)
Yellow (0.35 - 0.50 m)
Orange (0.50 to 0.75 m)
Red (0.75 m)

1/4
This raster file was created as a result of a 2013 to 2016 study done for the Edmonton area to determine the vulnerable areas of Edmonton in regards to a 1 in 100 year rainfall event. Due to the constant changing of subsurface infrastructure (adding, upgrading, etc.) combined with the constant changing definition of a 1 in 100 year rainfall event (based on historic rainfall amounts), this raster file reflects the results of a study done in 2016 and should neither suggest previous year’s vulnerabilities nor future year’s vulnerabilities. There are four different colours to show the depth of water that might pool on the ground during a large rainstorm. Those colours are: Green (representing a ponding depth from 0.00 - 0.35 m) Yellow (representing a ponding depth from 0.35 - 0.50 m) Orange (representing a ponding depth from 0.50 to 0.75 m) Red (representing a ponding depth greater than 0.75 m)

By getting so up close with the portrait, you can see all the details and brushstrokes which we often miss when looking at paintings online. As my PhD is on Alexandra, seeing this in person was nothing short of spectacular!

The use of “Fairy” in depictions of Queen Alexandra
