Ankle Balustrade Bare Crop Declared Frock Gender Holds Sash Shoes Shoulders Sleeved Stockings Strap Striped Toddler 1860s Short
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print from the 1860s captures a young boy in a short-sleeved frock, which leaves his shoulders bare, adorned with a striped sash. His gender is unmistakably declared by the riding crop he holds in his hand. The Victorian-era costume of this toddler includes stockings and shoes with an ankle strap, adding to the historical authenticity of the image.
The balustrade in the background sets the scene for this snapshot of children's fashion and social norms from over a century ago. The boy's innocence and curiosity are evident as he gazes off into the distance, perhaps dreaming of adventures to come.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this piece of history through their collection of prints, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate how styles have evolved over time. This photograph serves as a reminder of simpler times when clothing played a significant role in defining one's gender identity.
Whether displayed in a nursery or study, this print is sure to spark conversations about childhood, fashion, and societal expectations during the late 19th century. It is not just an image but a window into another era that continues to fascinate us today.
