EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Parasol, crafted in America during the late 19th century. The creator of this exquisite accessory remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. Adorned with charming polka dots, this parasol is a true representation of Victorian fashion and women's wear from that era. The vibrant colors and intricate design highlight the attention to detail put into creating this piece. Made from silk, metal, wood, and synthetic materials, it exemplifies the craftsmanship prevalent in historical textiles. This Parasol not only serves as a functional item for protection against the sun but also doubles as a fashionable statement piece. Displayed at both the Brooklyn Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this artifact holds great significance in American heritage art. Its presence evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when clothing was more than just attire; it was an expression of one's identity and social standing. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to witness the elegance and sophistication associated with 19th-century fashion. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural history while celebrating the creativity of unknown artisans who contributed to shaping American style.
