EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a collection of exquisite 18th-century accessories and clothing, showcasing the fashion trends of that era. The image features two silk calashes, which were large bonnets worn by women to protect their hairstyles from the elements. Alongside them is a velvet riding-cap with a visor, adding an air of sophistication to any equestrian ensemble. Also included in this display is a Quaker bonnet, reflecting the modesty and simplicity associated with Quaker beliefs during that time period. A beaver hat stands tall among these items, representing the fashionable headwear choice for men in the 18th century. The photograph also showcases two pairs of men's gloves, highlighting the importance placed on proper hand attire during formal occasions. An embroidered muslin skirt completes this ensemble, showcasing delicate craftsmanship and attention to detail. Taken from Elisabeth McClellan's "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" this image provides us with a glimpse into America's sartorial past. It serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over time while still retaining its ability to captivate our imagination. As we admire these historic objects through this studio shot captured in the 1930s, we are transported back to an era where style was not just about personal expression but also reflected societal norms and religious beliefs. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind these garments and their cultural significance within American history.
