1885 Afternoon Asleep Bed Room Frilly Hammock Parasol Sleeping Sleeps Warm Drowsy Furniture
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Young Woman's Afternoon Nap in the Garden, 1885 This image captures the essence of a leisurely afternoon in the late 19th century. The young woman, dressed in a frilly, high-collared gown and lace cap, lies drowsily in a hammock, her parasol resting nearby. The garden setting is filled with vibrant flowers and lush greenery, creating a serene and idyllic atmosphere. The year is 1885, a time when the upper classes enjoyed the luxuries of indoor plumbing, electricity, and the latest fashion trends. Yet, even in the comforts of their homes, they still found pleasure in the simple joys of nature. This photograph, with its warm, sunlit tones, invites us to imagine the peaceful moments of rest and relaxation that were once a cherished part of daily life. The hammock, a popular piece of outdoor furniture during this era, was often used as a place to unwind and escape the heat of the day. The woman's parasol, a necessary accessory for protecting one's delicate complexion from the sun, is a testament to the importance of beauty and appearance in Victorian society. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a beautiful reminder of a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of nature and rest were valued above all else. It invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty of a warm afternoon in the garden, and to take a moment for ourselves, just as this young woman did over a century ago.
