EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the annals of Regency-era fashion, two elegant women adorned in the height of early 19th-century style stand before a lush, green backdrop. The woman on the left wears a spencer, a short jacket with a high neckline and long sleeves, lined with luxurious fur. The spencer, a popular choice for daywear during this period, is accentuated by a ruff collar and a delicate, embroidered cuff at the wrist. A reticule, a small handbag, is slung over her arm, adding a touch of practicality to her otherwise ornate attire. The woman on the right dons a pelisse, a long, fitted coat with a waist-length skirt and a lapel collar. Her pelisse is also fur-lined, adding an air of opulence to her appearance. Both women wear their hair in the popular "Empire" style of the time, with loose curls framing their faces and piled high at the back. According to a later source, this photograph dates back to around 1805. The intricate details of their costumes, from the ruff collars to the fur linings, provide a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of Regency-era fashion. The women's refined attire and poised demeanor speak to the sophistication and grace of the time, making this image a must-see for anyone with an interest in historical fashion. This evocative photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating window into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and refinement. Whether you're a history buff, a fashion enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this image is sure to leave you enchanted.
