EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a military jacket from the 19th century, specifically British attire dating back to approximately 1862. Created by C. Webb, this double-breasted jacket exudes an air of authority and sophistication. The intricate gold braid detailing on the garment's epaulettes and buttons adds a touch of opulence to its overall design. The rich fabric used in crafting this piece is reminiscent of the era's fashion trends, highlighting the attention to detail and quality craftsmanship that defined Victorian clothing. Made from wool with silk accents, this military uniform reflects both practicality and elegance. With its historical significance tied to the American Civil War, this jacket serves as a reminder of the naval warfare during that time period. It symbolizes not only Britain's influence but also the United States Navy's role in protecting their country during times of conflict. Preserved at Brooklyn Museum and Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artifact represents an important part of our heritage art collection. Its association with Dr. Leonard Cassell McPhail further emphasizes its connection to medical service within the military. As we admire C. Webb's creation through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how fashion played a significant role even amidst war and strife. This image encapsulates not just a piece of clothing but also tells a story about culture, identity, and history itself.
