EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of Regency-era fashion, showcasing a stunning walking dress and muff from 1819. The pelisse, made of grey kerseymere fabric, is a timeless piece of historical clothing that exudes elegance and sophistication. The long sleeves, falling gracefully over the hands, add an air of refinement, while the ruby-coloured velvet trim at the cuffs, epaulettes, and perimeter of the garment, adds a pop of colour and luxury. The urn, placed to the side, serves as a classical pediment, highlighting the historical context of the scene. The forlorn expression on the woman's face, as she gazes off into the distance, adds a sense of melancholy to the image, making it all the more intriguing. The walking dress, or pelisse, was a popular choice for women during the Regency period, as it allowed for both style and functionality. The long sleeves and trimmed epaulettes provided warmth and protection from the elements, while the kerseymere fabric offered breathability and comfort. The ruby-coloured velvet trim was a sign of wealth and status, making this garment a prized possession for any woman of the time. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of historical fashion. The image invites us to imagine the stories and experiences of the woman in the photograph, adding a layer of depth and meaning to this moment in time.
