✔️ The Edwardian Era (1901–1914) films and TV shows
Description:

The British Empire was still powerful at this time. Arts and crafts flourished. The main industries were coal, iron, steel, cotton and wool. Railways were being built all over the world by the British. Electricity became an easily available commodity during the Edwardian times. King Edward VII’s reign was also associated with La Belle Epoque, an epoch of beautiful clothes and the peak of luxury living for a select few. Peace and prosperity came to an end when the First World War broke out.
