EDITORS COMMENTS
The Coming Season - Debutantes (1870) This cartoon by Alfred Thompson, published in 1870, offers a humorous glimpse into the world of Victorian debutantes preparing for the social season in London. The image, brought to us by Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to an era of elegance, opulence, and rigid societal norms. In the foreground, a young woman is engrossed in adjusting her elaborate hairstyle, while her maid stands by, ready to assist. Another debutante, dressed in a stunning gown, is busy applying makeup, her reflection visible in a small mirror. A third woman, seated at a vanity table, is having her hair braided intricately. The room is filled with an array of accessories, including feathers, ribbons, and flowers, all essential elements of a debutante's costume. The cartoon beautifully captures the anticipation and excitement of the debutantes as they prepare for the upcoming social events. The upper class, aristocratic society of London was known for its elaborate debutante balls and presentations at court, which marked the beginning of a young woman's entry into high society. The Coming Season - Debutantes is a charming reminder of the rich and intricate social system that once existed in England during the Victorian era. The attention to detail in the women's costumes, their focused expressions, and the busy atmosphere of the room all contribute to the overall sense of anticipation and excitement. This cartoon is an invaluable historical record of a significant moment in the lives of young women during the 1870s.
