EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Priscilla (engraving)" takes us back to the enchanting world of the late 19th century. Created by Davidson Knowles, a talented artist who flourished between 1879 and 1896, this engraving captures the essence of Priscilla in all her grace and elegance. The image is part of a private collection but has found its way into the Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. In this illustration for The Illustrated London News from September 12,1891, we are transported to a time when needlework was not only an essential skill but also an art form. Priscilla's delicate hands meticulously weave intricate patterns on fabric, showcasing her mastery in this traditional craft. Her concentration is palpable as she brings life to each stitch with precision and finesse. Beyond showcasing needlework expertise, this engraving also offers us a glimpse into the fashion trends of that era. Priscilla's attire reflects the prevailing styles of Victorian clothing - layers upon layers of ruffles and lace adorn her dress while her hair is elegantly styled with ribbons and flowers. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us through time. It reminds us that even in our modern age where technology reigns supreme, there is still value in preserving traditional crafts like needlework and celebrating the timeless allure of fashion throughout history.
