1878 Dressed Morning Undressed Visiting Visitors
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Female Types / Not Dressed (- Still undressed at this time of day? - Oh, I've had nothing but visitors all morning!)" was taken in the year 1878 and is a fascinating glimpse into the past, captured by the skillful lens of an unidentified photographer, now available through Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image portrays a woman, elegantly dressed in a high-necked, long-sleeved blouse and a voluminous skirt, sitting in a comfortable chair, surrounded by an array of curious visitors. The woman's expression is one of amusement and mild annoyance, as she casually holds a fan in one hand and a letter in the other, seemingly unfazed by the constant stream of guests. The photograph provides a unique insight into the social dynamics of the late 19th century, where visitors were a common occurrence, especially for women of the upper classes. The woman's attire, while elegant and fashionable, also serves as a reminder of the strict modesty codes of the time, as she remains fully clothed despite the title's suggestive phrasing. The photograph's title, "Not Dressed (- Still undressed at this time of day? - Oh, I've had nothing but visitors all morning!)", adds an intriguing layer of ambiguity to the image, leaving the viewer to ponder the true meaning behind the woman's words. Was she joking about being undressed, or was there a deeper meaning to her statement? Overall, this photograph is a captivating snapshot of history, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a woman in the late 1800s and the social norms of the time. It is a reminder of the rich history that lies within the pages of the past and the importance of preserving it for future generations to explore and learn from.
