EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Parasol, American, dating back to around 1880. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and allure to its history. The parasol itself is a true testament to the fashion trends of the 19th century in America. Its black color exudes elegance and sophistication, while the delicate lace detailing adds a touch of femininity. Made from luxurious silk and taffeta textiles, it epitomizes the opulence associated with women's attire during this era. The handle of the parasol is crafted from ivory and metal, showcasing both durability and craftsmanship. This accessory not only served as protection against the sun but also made a bold fashion statement for Victorian women. Displayed at prominent institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this parasol has become an iconic representation of American heritage art. It symbolizes an era when clothing was meticulously designed with attention to detail and quality materials. As we admire this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to witness how fashion transcends generations. This Parasol represents more than just an accessory; it embodies a rich cultural legacy that continues to inspire contemporary style enthusiasts worldwide.
