1835 Absurd Brooch Edged Fashions Handkerchief Hanging Imbecile Lace Mantle Peaked Pelisse Revers Romantic Sentimental Silk Sleeves Tassel Velvet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the special bond between a mother and her young daughter, dressed in fashionable attire of the 1830s. The mother wears a blue silk and black velvet pelisse-mantle, a transitional garment between a cloak and a coat, featuring hanging sleeves, a lace-edged collar, and a brooch. The pelisse-mantle was a popular choice for women during this period, offering both style and practicality. The little girl, dressed in a pink mantle with imbecile sleeves and large revers, complements her mother's outfit with her own child-sized version of the adult fashion. Her peaked cap, adorned with a tassel, adds a playful touch to her ensemble. The use of handkerchiefs, a common accessory during this era, adds a sentimental touch to the photograph. The absurdly large revers on the girl's mantle, known as imbecile sleeves, were a fashion trend that emphasized the importance of youth and innocence. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of the fashion trends of the time, as well as the strong bond between mother and child. The pelisse-mantle, with its combination of blue silk and black velvet, was a romantic and elegant choice for women, while the girl's pink mantle and peaked cap added a touch of whimsy and playfulness to her outfit. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the fashionable and sentimental ways in which mothers and daughters connected through their shared love of fashion in the 1830s. The intricate details of their outfits, from the lace collars to the tasseled caps, transport us back in time and allow us to appreciate the rich history of fashion and mother-daughter relationships.
