EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant piece of American history - the Bloomer Costume from 1851. The wood engraving, created by an unknown American artist during that time, beautifully captures the essence of this revolutionary fashion statement. The Bloomer Costume was not just a mere outfit; it represented a powerful movement towards women's rights and gender equality. This bold ensemble consisted of loose trousers gathered at the ankles, worn under a knee-length dress or tunic. It challenged societal norms and sparked debates about women's roles in society. During the mid-19th century, when this engraving was made, suffragettes were fighting for their right to vote and advocating for equal opportunities for women. The Bloomer Costume became closely associated with feminism and progressive ideals. In this image, we see a woman confidently donning her Bloomer Costume while wearing an elegant hat that adds a touch of sophistication to her attire. She stands as a symbol of resilience and determination amidst the conservative values prevalent in middle America during that era. This print is not only visually stunning but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our ongoing struggle for gender equality. It represents the courage and strength displayed by those who fought tirelessly to secure basic rights for women throughout history. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical gem from The Granger Collection so that future generations can appreciate its significance within the context of American fashion, feminism, and social progress during the mid-19th century.
