1858 Admires Adolphus Crinolines Dejected Despair Despondent Dimensions Fido Handkerchief Kitty Mirror Narrow Reflection Startled Vanity Whale Bone
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Kitty Admires Herself" from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to the Victorian era of 1858, where the intricacies of women's vanity and the unexpected antics of pets unfold before our eyes. In the foreground, a confident and curvaceous feline named Kitty gazes intently at her reflection in a narrow mirror. Her newfound figure, accentuated by the latest fashion trend of crinolines, takes up more space than the mirror can accommodate. The mirror's frame, adorned with intricate whale bone detailing, adds an air of elegance and historical authenticity to the scene. In the background, an unassuming Adolphus, a well-dressed gentleman, attempts to conceal his despondency with a handkerchief. The reason for his dejection remains a mystery, but it's clear that Kitty's self-absorbed moment has left him startled and taken aback. Fido, the family dog, adds a touch of humor to the scene as he reacts with wide-eyed surprise, perhaps startled by the sudden appearance of Kitty or the unexpected sight of her expansive new figure. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian-era women's vanity and the role of pets in their daily lives. The use of a mirror to capture one's reflection was a popular trend during this time, and the addition of the crinoline, a fashionable yet impractical accessory, adds to the whimsical and intriguing nature of the image. Overall, "Kitty Admires Herself" is a delightful and enchanting snapshot of history that invites us to ponder the complexities of human and animal behavior.
