Anglaise Broderie Calf Cane Eton Knickerbocker Lace Length Siblings Stockings Tuck Waist Furniture
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph from the late 1890s, showcasing the charming innocence of childhood during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image captures the essence of sibling bonding, as a boy and girl proudly pose for the camera in their elegant attire. The boy, dressed in a knickerbocker suit, wears the height of fashion for young boys during this period. His ensemble includes a knitted Eton collar, waistcoat, black stockings, and lace-up boots. The Eton collar, a high, detachable collar, was a popular choice for boys' formal wear, adding a touch of sophistication to their outfits. The girl, equally stylish, dons a calf-length dress with a high waist and a tuck detail on the hem. Her dress features a delicate broderie Anglaise collar, a lace trim that was a common embellishment for women's and girls' clothing during this era. The calf-length dress, with its modest design, reflects the societal norms of the time. The siblings' poses and expressions convey a sense of playfulness and joy, as they engage with a vintage cane and a piece of furniture. The intricate details of their costumes, from the lace on the girl's collar to the boy's polished boots, transport us back to a bygone era. This photograph, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of children's fashion during the late 1890s, a period of transition from the Victorian to the Edwardian era. The image captures the essence of a simpler time, where children's clothing reflected the elegance and refinement of the adult world.
