• Christie as a young woman, 1910s Unknown author - The Christie Archive Trust The photo typically depicts her as poised and elegant, reflecting the fashion and sensibilities of the Edwardian era transitioning into the 1910s. Christie often appears with a gentle, confident expression, her hair styled in soft waves or an updo common at the time. Her attire would likely consist of a high-collared blouse or dress, possibly adorned with lace, reflecting the refined yet understated elegance of the era.
