EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1885, depicts a young girl in an intriguing ensemble as she enthusiastically paddles a spade in the shallows of the seaside. The child's outfit is a charming fusion of Scottish and nautical influences, making it a perfect representation of the eclectic fashion trends of the Victorian era. The girl wears a tartan kilt, the traditional Scottish garment, which adds a touch of heritage and authenticity to her look. The kilt is teamed with a sailor blouse, a popular choice among children during the 1880s. The blouse, adorned with buttons and collars, is reminiscent of the sailor suits worn by boys during the same period. Two ribbon rosettes are artfully pinned to the girl's kilt, adding a feminine touch to the outfit. The rosettes, with their vibrant colors and intricate designs, complement the tartan pattern of the kilt, creating a visually striking contrast. The girl's head is adorned with a Tam-O'-Shanter, a traditional Scottish cap with a pom-pom on top. This accessory further emphasizes the Scottish influence in her outfit. The combination of the tartan kilt, sailor blouse, and Tam-O'-Shanter creates a unique and charming look that is both playful and stylish. The photograph captures the essence of the Victorian era, a time when children's clothing was influenced by various cultural and fashion trends. The girl's joyful expression as she paddles in the water adds to the overall charm of the image, making it a delightful glimpse into the past.
